  • Relationships 2.0: Keeping Love Alive

    Relationships 2.0: Keeping Love Alive
    Apr 28 2025

    There's no magic potion that can make someone adore you. But there are things you can do to promote a deep and enduring connection — and even feelings of passion — between yourself and your partner. In the final chapter of our Relationships 2.0 series, psychologist Arthur Aron shares some techniques for falling and staying in love.

    In today's conversation, we explore:

    *The assumption that love fades over time.

    *The effects of daily routine on romantic relationships.

    *What our choice in a romantic partners says about us

    *How successful long-term couples keep love alive

    If you love Hidden Brain, please join us for our upcoming live tour! Shankar will be visiting cities across the U.S., and our listeners have the first crack at purchasing tickets. You can get yours at https://hiddenbrain.org/tour/. Use the pre-sale code BRAIN. We hope to see you there!

  • Relationships 2.0: Why Did You Do That? + Your Questions Answered: Fred Luskin on Grudges

    Relationships 2.0: Why Did You Do That? + Your Questions Answered: Fred Luskin on Grudges
    Apr 21 2025

    As we go through life, we’re constantly trying to figure out what other people are thinking and feeling. Psychologist Liane Young says this ability to assess other people’s thoughts ​is an extraordinary feat of cognition. This week, in a favorite episode from our archives, we explore this mental superpower — and how it can lead us astray.

    In our conversation with Liane Young, we explore:

    *The uniquely human ability to think about the minds of other people, which scientists refer to as "theory of mind."

    *How and when young children develop this ability to intuit what's happening in other people's minds.

    *Why our understanding of other people's minds affects our moral judgments — and how those judgments can be disabled.

    *How misreading another person's intentions can affect our lives in both small and significant ways.

    Then, in the second part of this week's show, we welcome back researcher Fred Luskin, who responds to listeners' questions about grudges. If you missed the original conversation with Fred Luskin, listen to our episode No Hard Feelings.

    Relationships 2.0: The Power of Tiny Interactions + Your Questions Answered: Erica Bailey on Authenticity
    Apr 14 2025

    As you go about your day, you likely interact with family, friends and coworkers. These relationships can help you feel cared for and connected. But what if there’s a whole category of people in your life whose impact is overlooked? Today, in a favorite episode from our archives, psychologist Gillian Sandstrom reveals some simple ways to make your life a little more joyful and maybe even a little less lonely. Then, we talk with researcher Erica Bailey, who responds to listeners' questions about authenticity and how to reveal our true selves to the people around us.

    In this episode you'll learn:

    • The sociological concept of "weak" and "strong" ties, and the important roles they play in our lives.
    • How "weak ties" contribute to our happiness.
    • How to talk to strangers — including how to start, maintain, and end a conversation.
    • How to decrease feelings of loneliness and increase feelings of connectivity in your daily life.

The Best Podcast

Absolutely the most informative, interesting, well made, well presented, thoughtful and intriguing podcast I've found. The topics are so relevant and presented in a non-biased, apolitical and clear manner to appeal to everyone. I'm hooked.

Very thought provoking episode!

This podcast is great, but this episode was fantastic! Really makes you stop & think about "bad people" vs. "good people".

Totally makes sense

The analysis, research and experiments at amazing. I would say that I believe in God in the abstract and any other attributes (punitive, kind, mercy,...) take away.
