On Hidden Brain, we help you understand your own mind — and the minds of the people around you. (We're routinely rated the #1 science podcast in the United States.) Hosted by veteran science journalist Shankar Vedantam.

  1. Marching To Your Own Drummer

    Marching To Your Own Drummer

    What would you have done? It's one of the most enduring questions in psychology. We all like to think that in a moment of crisis, we'd rise to the occasion and show courage. And yet many of us have had experiences where we followed orders and did what we were told to do. This week, we talk with psychologist Sunita Sah about the reasons why many of us silence ourselves and follow orders, and how we can align our words and actions with our values.

    Defeating Fear

    One of the more complex challenges in defying authority is figuring out when defiance is an act of courage and virtue, and when it is not. In this companion conversation with Sunita Sah, we look at two examples of people defying authority. We'll consider what these stories tell us about our moral convictions: how they can sometimes fortify us during a crisis, and sometimes lead us astray.

  3. The Conversations that Bring Us Closer

    The Conversations that Bring Us Closer

    Last week on the show, we looked at the science of conversation, and how even ordinary chats can involve a delicate dance of coordination. This week, we explore the discussions we all dread: the tough ones. Telling someone they treated us poorly. Demanding a raise. Taking away an elderly relative's car keys. We talk with Alison Wood Brooks about what makes difficult conversations difficult, and a series of psychological techniques to help you navigate them.

    Your Questions Answered: Jessica Tracy on Pride

    From an early age, we're taught that acting high and mighty is in poor taste. Many of us absorb this lesson, and studiously avoid expressions of pride. But as we discussed in a recent conversation with psychologist Jessica Tracy, refraining from self-regard can also mean losing out on the benefits of what she calls authentic pride. This week, Jessica Tracy returns to answer your questions about how to navigate the fine line between authentic pride and hubris.

    We Need to Talk

    Just because we’ve been doing something for a long time doesn’t mean we’re doing it right. One part of our lives where this may be particularly true is when we're talking with others. This week, we bring you the first of a two-part look at what makes someone skilled at socializing. Behavioral scientist Alison Wood Brooks explains why conversations are much more complex than most of us realize — and how to engage in a more meaningful back-and-forth with another person.

  6. No Hard Feelings

    No Hard Feelings

    Holding a grudge can feel like a form of justice, a way of punishing those who have wronged us. But psychologist Fred Luskin says that more often than not, grudges don't hurt the targets of our anger. Instead, they only hurt us. This week, we explore the lingering effects of long-standing animosities, and how to let them go.

    Wellness 2.0: The Art of the Unknown

    "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." It's been 45 years since John Lennon sang that line, yet it's an idea that continues to speak to an uncomfortable truth. While we all like to think we have some measure of control over how our lives will unfold, our plans are often upended by unknown events and curveballs we couldn't have predicted. This week, we conclude our Wellness 2.0 series by talking with political scientist Brian Klaas. He studies how we respond to the random events that shape our lives, and how we can turn them to our advantage.

    Wellness 2.0: Engineering Luck

    Sometimes, they say, you make your own luck. But doing so is not always that easy. In the first part of our conversation with political scientist Brian Klaas, we talked about the role of chance in shaping both the world at large and our personal lives. In this companion conversation for Hidden Brain+ subscribers, we explore what happens when we embrace these random and unpredictable forces, and the surprising benefits of doing so.
