I would caution listeners to not accept the interviewee's conclusions about changing vocabulary does not impact emotion/ depression, anxiety. It is the basis of the most documented successful tx of MH disorders - cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This story is more complex than this episode suggests. The basis of CBT is that our thoughts greatly influence our emtional state, and may be altered by changing the self-talk/the way we think and talk about our situation.

To much academic talk and not enough practical knowledge unfortunately.

Such good points made here, it helps to see the benefits of different ways of thinking and recognizing we will have large blind spots without engaging people who come from both perspectives I. dealing with uncertainty.

I’m consistently amazed by how 'Hidden Brain' delves into the complexities of human behavior and thought. The podcast’s ability to weave together scientific research with compelling storytelling makes each episode both enlightening and engaging. https://sites.google.com/view/custom-kraft-paper/home The insights provided are not only thought-provoking but also incredibly relevant to everyday life. Kudos to the team for consistently producing such high-quality content that challenges our perspectives and deepens our understanding of the world!

This is a rebroadcast from last year. I appreciate when a podcast mentions that in the description...would be nice if Hidden Brain would do that, too.

wish they would challenge some of the data. study done 14 years before retirement and 14 years after shows cognitive decline. lol. 28 years going into people's 70s and it showed cognitive decline. couldn't be natural decline for sure it's the work

one of the worst episodes of Hidden Brain ..... the only one I can think of that was worse was the one where Shankar had pro folks that belive that little girls should have their clits hacked off ( his pro cutting off little girls clits episode) I've listened to his show for years and I ain't making this up . ** I'll probably pass on his show

listening to people that aren't lonely and have never actually been alone makes me physically ill , Shankar's guest ( and Shankar) obviously have lots of friends and colleagues and probably a boy friend and kid too ...... fake loneliness. why can't Shankar have someone on the show that is actually lonely and that isn't a phd doing acemdic research. why can't we have real people talk about loneliness??

shockingly stupid.... just ask for help to get the washing machine up the stairs .... it don't matter what country I'm in someone will always help me carry a heavy object up some stairs ( just ask and if there's language barrier then just point at the stairs and the washing machine and smile) ...... she's another soft, wafty, spoiled rotten little brat trying to sell us some bs, in reality she's probably so spoiled and oblivious that she doesn't understand how remarkably stupid she sounds.

I find it hard to believe that Netta didn't have a boyfriend.... I'm not buying her lonely story

Dr. Rosenberg, the guest expert, comes across as a self-absorbed hot head who thinks rules shouldn't apply to him (see road rage, unleashed dog). The irony that he is so triggered by reactants even after studying the area seems to undermine his research's efficacy.
