From a young age, many of us learn the benefits of being an extrovert – those gregarious individuals who always seem to be the life and soul of the party, often outspoken and able to express their opinions easily. However, not all of us are wired that way – so is being an extrovert really better?从很小的时候起，我们中的许多人就知道成为外向的人的好处——那些善于交际的人，他们似乎总是党的生命和灵魂，经常直言不讳，能够轻松表达自己的意见。然而，并不是我们所有人都是这样的——那么做一个外向的人真的更好吗？While thinking of extroverts, we imagine a character who is assertive, approachable, cheerful and charming. We are taught to admire these traits early on. Kids are often encouraged to interact, play and communicate with other children. It seems at times as though children are made to embrace a more outgoing lifestyle, with some people becoming pseudo-extroverts – introverts who mimic extrovert behaviour. While externally they may seem to enjoy the company of others, or being in the limelight, they can still become over-extended in intense social situations.在考虑外向者时，我们会想象一个自信、平易近人、开朗和迷人的角色。我们很早就被教导要欣赏这些特征。孩子们经常被鼓励与其他孩子互动、玩耍和交流。有时，孩子们似乎被迫接受一种更外向的生活方式，有些人变成了伪外向者——模仿外向行为的内向者。虽然从外表上看，他们似乎很享受与他人的陪伴，或者成为众人瞩目的焦点，但在激烈的社交场合中，他们仍然会变得过度扩张。So, while the positive aspects of being an extrovert are plain to see, what are the benefits of introversion? While extroverts thrive on social interaction, introverts are more comfortable with levels of isolation. According to Dr Berit Brogaard, a professor of philosophy, extreme solitude, such as times like the recent lockdown, does not affect introverts as much as extroverts. Lack of social contact, something extroverts thrive on, can lead to depression, loneliness, and even premature death.所以，虽然性格外向的积极方面是显而易见的，但内向的好处是什么？虽然外向的人在社交互动中茁壮成长，但内向的人更能适应孤立的程度。根据哲学教授贝里特·布罗加德博士的说法，极端孤独，例如最近的封锁，对内向者的影响不如外向者。缺乏社交联系，外向的人茁壮成长，会导致抑郁、孤独，甚至过早死亡。But it's not just in an extreme situation that the pros of being an introvert shine through. These people seem to have more time for contemplation and introspection and thus can become more balanced. They also tend to be good listeners and think before they speak, meaning they could become great friends. Finally, introverts are often fantastic observers, as sitting out of the focus can give you more time to watch the behaviour of others.但是，性格内向的优点不仅仅在极端情况下才能发挥出来。这些人似乎有更多的时间进行沉思和反省，因此可以变得更加平衡。他们也往往是很好的倾听者，在说话之前会先思考，这意味着他们可以成为好朋友。最后，内向的人通常是出色的观察者，因为坐在焦点之外可以让你有更多的时间观察他人的行为。So, whatever your personality, either introvert or extrovert, there are clear advantages to being either, and if you meet an introvert, you might just end up with an amazing friend.所以，无论你的性格如何，无论是内向的还是外向的，两者都有明显的优势，如果你遇到内向的人，你最终可能会遇到一个了不起的朋友。词汇表gregarious 爱交际的life and soul of the party 社交场合的灵魂人物outspoken 坦率的，直率的assertive 坚定自信的approachable 平易近人的cheerful 乐观开朗的charming 迷人的trait （性格）特点encourage 鼓励interact 互动，相互交流communicate 沟通outgoing 开朗外向的mimic 模仿over-extended 吃不消，压力过大solitude 孤独contemplation 沉思introspection 反思

Berit Brogaard, PhD, and Kristian Marlow, MA, study people with astonishing talents—memory champions, human echolocators, musical virtuosos, math geniuses, and synesthetes who taste colors and hear faces. But as amazing as these abilities are, they are not mysterious. Our brains constantly process a huge amount of information below our awareness, and what these gifted individuals have in common is that through practice, injury, an innate brain disorder, or even more unusual circumstances, they have managed to gain a degree of conscious access to this potent processing power. The Superhuman Mind takes us inside the lives and brains of geniuses, savants, virtuosos, and a wide variety of ordinary people who have acquired truly extraordinary talents, one way or another. Delving into the neurological underpinnings of these abilities, the authors even reveal how we can acquire some of them ourselves—from perfect pitch and lightning fast math skills to supercharged creativity. The Superhuman Mind is a book full of the fascinating science readers look for from the likes of Oliver Sacks, combined with the exhilarating promise of Moonwalking with Einstein.Berit Brogaard is Professor and Cooper Fellow at the University of Miami. Her areas of research include perception, emotions, synesthesia, and savant syndrome. She is the author of Transient Truths (Oxford University Press, 2012), On Romantic Love (Oxford University Press, 2015), The Superhuman Mind (Penguin, 2015), Seeing & Saying (Oxford University Press, 2018), and Hate: Understanding Our Most Dangerous Emotion (Oxford University Press, 2020).

Poems, sonnets, entire tomes have been written about pure love. Less ink has been spilled on pure hate. Berit Brogaard, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Brogaard Lab at the University of Miami, joins host Krys Boyd to talk about the morality, psychology, science, and justifications for an emotion all of us feel, but no one likes to own up to. She’s the author of “Hatred: Understanding our Most Dangerous Emotion.”

More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/why-we-hate. The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that the number of hate groups operating in the U.S. has risen to a record high. There has also been a corresponding increase in hate crime violence. So where does all this hate come from? Do we hate others because we feel a deeper sense of alienation or fear towards them? Is hating always the wrong response, or is there an appropriate kind of hate? Can we love and hate at the same time? And what's the difference between hate and other reactive attitudes like anger, disgust, and contempt? Josh and Ray shake off the haters with Berit Brogaard from the University of Miami, author of "Hatred: Understanding Our Most Dangerous Emotion."

What is it that makes hatred so addicting? In her new book Hatred: Understanding Our Most Dangerous Emotion (Oxford University Press, 2020), Berit Bogaard explains. Berit is a Professor of Philosophy and a Cooper Fellow at the University of Miami. Her areas of research include the topics of perception, emotions, and language. She’s published five books, four with Oxford University Press over the past decade, plus The Superhuman Mind, published by Penguin in 2015. Topics covered in this episode include: The two-fold nature of hatred, which has both a personal dimension and a group dimension to it. Hatred runs hotter and longer than anger, having more intensity and an attitudinal element. How a 6th trait, honesty-humility, is a contender to supplement to the usual Big 5 personality model because it brings into the equation the role of narcissism, and its likely relationship to contempt. How it is that some relatively privileged white men could be so prone to hatred toward women and minorities, with that hatred growing in times of greater economic inequality.

The gossip. The put downs and insults. And then even the not so obvious ways women sabotage each other in the workplace even, especially if it’s in male-dominated company or industry. So it begs the question – if we know how hard it some times to be a woman and live with our challenges, socially and culturally, why on earth would we be hateful towards other women? And that’s why Brit is on today – to help us understand female misogyny. In this episode, you will hear: Defining misogyny and what it is.Where can the origins be generally found for men and women? The four basic types of female misogynists: The Puritan, The Self-Critic, The Self-Loather, and the She-Devil. Are feelings of jealousy and envy towards other women misogynistic or normal? How widespread is female misogyny? Is this something treatable or addressable? Can a misogynist learn and grow out of these feelings of contempt?

What is the one of the main reasons why relationships don't last? Are people in arranged marriages better off? Will you ever biologically feel the high from the beginning of a relationship later on? If we're drawn to opposites, and that causes relationship issues, what is the best way to change ourselves? For other interviews, go to www.nehagajwani.com.

How to Finish What You Started (0:00:00) One of the most incredible feelings is coming up with a genius idea for a product or project that you want to create. Your creativity begins to flow, your brain kicks into full speed, and you can't seem to pull yourself away from working on your passion. And then suddenly, for a lot of us, that motivation begins to slow. Now that you're reach the finishing touches of your project, you can barely bring yourself to even think about it, let alone finish it. How many of us have been in that same situation? Sometimes, the hardest part about the projects we do is finding the willpower to finish them. So how do we overcome that roadblock in our creativity? Licensed clinical psychologist and former psychology professor Dr. Bill Knaus is on the show to talk with us about how to finish what we started. Science of First Impressions (0:15:10) Do you find that your first impressions of people are almost always right? We're always taught not to judge other people based off of their appearance, but it's an easy trap to fall into, especially when we tend to judge correctly! What is it that connects the way we look to our character? Berit Brogaard is with us to explain her research on the powerful link between appearance and personality. Dr. Brogaard is a professor and director of the Brogaard Lab for Multisensory Research at the University of Miami. Visiting the Hospital Abroad (0:33:04) Heaven forbid you are on vacation and you have a severe allergic reaction to your shrimp cocktail, or maybe you badly twist your ankle dancing. What do you do? How do you get the medical attention you need? Dr. Robert Quigley, a surgeon and senior vice president of medical and travel support companies International SOS and MedAire, joins us to teach us what we should do in the case of a medical emergency in another country, as well as what we can do to medically prepare for our vacations abroad.   Long Distance Relationships (0:50:36) Everyone always says that long distance relationships never work, but when life happens, and you and your partner have to be separated—what can you do except try to keep the spark alive? Is there any way to make long-distance relationships work? Here to share with us her thoughts and experiences is Dr. Roni Beth Tower, academic psychologist and author of Miracle at Midlife: A Transatlantic Romance. Brushing Teeth as a Habit for Kids (1:05:08) Cavities. At this point in the year, after Halloween and coming up on Christmas, a lot of our kids will probably be gifted with. . . cavities. We all know we need to help our kids brush their teeth, but it seems like the biggest wrestling match of the year every time we try. So how can we help them get into the habit of brushing without the struggle? Jaime Frand is the Founder of Kangaroo Oral Care, a Registered Nurse and EMT, and a father to four, including six-year old triplets! We've invited him onto the show to share some of his knowledge. Should I Buy This for my Kid? (1:21:53) Christmas is only 3 weeks away, so that means that wish lists are being made! All any parent wants is to give their children everything their hearts desire, especially during the holidays. But with kids today asking for such mature or extravagant things, we have to question what we should or should not buy for them. Chris Ferguson is a clinical psychologist and author. He's going to give us some tips on how we can give our kids the most appropriate gifts this holiday! 

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Berit Brogaard.

Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions. Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love more than one person at a time? And can we make ourselves fall out of love? Dr. Berit Brogaard is a Professor of Philosophy with joint appointments in the Departments of Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Miami as well as the Network for Sensory Research at the University of Toronto. Her educational background includes a medical degree in neuroscience and a doctorate in philosophy. Her areas of research include perception, synesthesia, blindsight, consciousness, neuro-psychiatry and emotions. Her latest book, On Romantic Love: Simple Truths About A Complex Emotion, attempts to get to the bottom of love's many contradictions. The book, informed by both historical and cutting-edge philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, combines a new theory of romantic love with entertaining anecdotes from real life and accessible explanations of the neuroscience underlying our wildest passions. Against the grain, Dr. Brogaard argues that love is an emotion; that it can be, at turns, both rational and irrational; and that it can be manifested in degrees. We can love one person more than another and we can love a person a little or a lot or not at all. And love isn't even always something we consciously feel. However, love -- like other emotions, both conscious and not -- is subject to rational control, and falling in or out of it can be a deliberate choice. Join Dr. Berit Brogaard and me on Tuesday, March 20, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about her life’s journey and her innovative look at a universal topic behind heartbreak, obsession, jealousy, attachment, and more.

Three cases are outlined where a person commits murder and then blames the crime on sleepwalking.  First up, Albert Tirrell murders his mistress in 1846 claiming he was in a trance-like state at the time. Kenneth Parks travels 23 km to commit a murder - all while asleep, he claimed. Finally, another man tries to use the sleepwalking defense after killing his wife in Phoenix, Arizona in 1997. Several resources were used in the research for this episode including:  Karen Abbott, Smithsonian.com, "The Case of the Sleepwalking Killer," April 30, 2012.  Paul Rubin, NewTimes.com, "A Killer Sleep Disorder," Nov 19, 1998.  True Crime Truant, "Scott Falater: Sleepwalking Killer Gets a Wakeup Call," July 20, 2017.  Berit Brogaard and Kristian Marlow, Psychology Today, "Sleep Driving and Sleep Killing: The Kenneth Parks Case," Dec 13, 2012.

Summer is here – what philosophers, philosophies, or philosophical issues do you want to read up on?

Propositions are key players in philosophy of language and mind. Roughly speaking, they are abstract repositories of meaning and truth. More specifically, they are the semantic values of truth-evaluable sentences; they are the objects of belief, desire and other propositional attitudes; they are what we agree and disagree about in conversation, and they are what is communicated in successful discourse. By philosophical tradition, propositions have their truth values eternally; that is, they always include a reference to a time as a component, and if true, they are always true. The proposition expressed in English by the sentence It is raining in Malta is more completely expressed by something like It is raining in Malta at noon local time on May 4, 2013. This standard view is called eternalism. In her new book Transient Truths: An Essay in the Metaphysics of Propositions (Oxford University Press, 2012), Berit Brogaard, associate professor of philosophy and psychology at the University of Missouri at St. Louis, calls this traditional view into question. Brogaard defends temporalism, the claim that some propositions do not have their truth values eternally – they lack a time-stamp. She argues instead that eternalists cannot adequately explain how we retain beliefs over time, how we modify beliefs, and how we agree and disagree over the span of an ordinary conversation, and she presents a new argument for temporalism from the phenomenology of conscious mental states. Her lucid and comprehensive discussion is a milestone in debates about our experience of time as expressed in natural language. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
