Dr. Carl Hart | On Being and Seeing the Human

Where can curiosity take you when your brain and belief system are searching for confirmation? How have we become a land driven be fear rather than freedom? And what is necessary to see the humanness in everyone? This and so much more with the incredible Dr. Carl Hart. 

Dr. Hart is an experimental psychologist specializing in neuropsychopharmacology. He is a ziff professor of psychology at Columbia University and is known for his research in drug use and addiction. Dr. Hart was the first tenured African American professor of sciences at Columbia University, and he has been featured in films such as The House I Lived In and Crack, a Netflix documentary. He is the author of High Price and the recently released book Drug Use for Grown Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear.

In this episode, Dr. L goes beyond the controversy of Dr. Hart's book and explores with him his own journey in using curiosity to fuel alignment with his career and research. They discuss how to explore congruence when judging or making assumptions about another human, the political nature of science, and why it is necessary to consider liberty in all choices. This is a deep dive of epic proportions and an incredible listen.
