    Wellness 2.0: Be Yourself

    We’re often drawn to people who appear to be true to themselves. Yet showing our authentic selves to the world can be terrifying. This week, we kick off 2025 with a new series, “Wellness 2.0.” We’ll go beyond New Year’s resolutions to take a deep look at how we can approach our lives with a sense of meaning and purpose. Today on the show, we begin our series with researcher Erica Bailey, who studies authenticity and what it means to truly be ourselves.

    Wellness 2.0: The "Us" in Authenticity

    There are many times in life when we struggle to be authentic. Our true selves may rub people the wrong way. Or we may come off as phony, even when we feel like we’re being authentic. In this companion episode with researcher Erica Bailey, we explore how our desires for authenticity often clash with the complexities of communicating and being understood by other people.  Is there someone in your life who would love Hidden Brain+?

  3. How to Be More Creative

    How to Be More Creative

    It's happened to all of us: We're in the shower, or on a walk, and boom — a big idea or a brilliant solution appears out of nowhere. These sorts of insights often seem to arise without explanation. But researchers increasingly find there is a science to cultivating creativity. This week, social psychologist Sheena Iyengar shares research and case studies of innovation, and discusses what these examples tell us about the alchemy of creative breakthroughs.

    How To Protect Yourself Online

    Marketers, political campaigns and technology platforms know a great deal about us. They know where we shop, what we buy, and who our friends are. In part two of our conversation with computational social scientist Sandra Matz, we explore the downsides of digital surveillance and why we may need new kinds of interventions to keep ourselves safe.   If you missed part one of our interview with Sandra Matz, it's the episode titled "What Your Online Self Reveals About You," available on the Hidden Brain podcast or at hiddenbrain.org.

    What Your Online Self Reveals About You

    Every day, we leave small traces of ourselves online. And we might not realize what these traces say about us. This week, computational social scientist Sandra Matz explores how understanding what we actually do online — not just what we think we do — can help us improve our lives.

  8. How Monsters are Made

    02/12/2024

    How Monsters are Made

    What makes ordinary people do evil things? It was a question that long fascinated the psychologist Philip Zimbardo, who died in October. Zimbardo was best known for the controversial Stanford prison experiment, in which he created a simulated prison in the basement of a university building and recruited volunteers to act as prisoners and guards. This week, we explore how Zimbardo came to create one of psychology's most notorious experiments – and inadvertently became the poster child for the human weaknesses he was trying to study.
