En este episodio de "La Teoría de la Mente", exploramos la intensidad oscura de "Supermassive Black Hole" de Muse, una canción que captura el deseo arrebatador, ese que puede consumirnos por completo y llevarnos al límite de nuestra cordura. Inspirados en el simbolismo de los agujeros negros supermasivos, hablamos sobre cómo el deseo a veces se convierte en una fuerza imparable, arrastrándonos hacia un vacío emocional del que puede ser difícil escapar. Con esta poderosa canción como punto de partida, analizamos por qué los humanos somos capaces de experimentar deseos tan intensos que nos hacen perder el control. ¿Por qué una especie capaz de crear filosofía y ciencia también puede caer en trampas emocionales? Reflexionamos sobre cómo nuestros impulsos tienen raíces evolutivas profundas, ligadas a la supervivencia y a la creación de vínculos sociales. También exploramos el impacto de los sistemas de recompensa en el cerebro, el papel de la dopamina en el amor romántico y cómo este tipo de deseos pueden, a veces, actuar como "agujeros negros" que nos drenan emocionalmente. La letra de "Supermassive Black Hole" está cargada de metáforas sobre la atracción oscura e inevitable, evocando imágenes de fuego, deshielo y una pasión que consume. Con frases como “You set my soul alight” y “Glaciers melting in the dead of night”, Muse logra transmitir esa urgencia y peligro que se siente al ser absorbido por un deseo sin control. Nos adentramos en el análisis de cómo esta canción ilustra el fenómeno del deseo obsesivo y cómo las recompensas intermitentes pueden atraparnos en relaciones tóxicas o metas inalcanzables. A lo largo del episodio, te invitamos a reflexionar sobre tus propios deseos. ¿Hay algo que te esté consumiendo, al igual que un agujero negro supermasivo absorbe todo a su paso? ¿Hasta qué punto ese deseo intenso te impulsa o te atrapa? ¿Es posible encontrar un equilibrio entre la pasión y la paz mental? Temas Principales Agujeros Negros Supermasivos: Una breve explicación de qué son y cómo funcionan estos fenómenos cósmicos, capaces de atraer y absorber todo lo que se acerca, incluyendo la luz. El Deseo como Fuerza Atrapante: Reflexionamos sobre cómo el deseo intenso puede actuar como un agujero negro emocional, consumiendo nuestra energía y claridad mental. Evolución y Deseo: Desde una perspectiva evolutiva, exploramos cómo el deseo fuerte y a veces irracional tiene sus raíces en la supervivencia y en la formación de lazos. Psicología del Amor y el Deseo Intenso: Analizamos las investigaciones de Helen Fisher sobre el sistema de recompensa del cerebro y cómo la dopamina refuerza estos patrones de atracción intensa. Análisis de la Letra: Desglose de las metáforas en “Supermassive Black Hole” y su relación con el deseo obsesivo y las trampas emocionales. Reflexión Personal: Invitación a reflexionar sobre los deseos que nos impulsan y aquellos que nos pueden encadenar, buscando un equilibrio para no ser absorbidos por nuestro propio "agujero negro".

We learned today that one of our favorite guests, Dr. Helen Fisher, passed away recently.   I first heard her name from my daughter Claire.  She and her friends had discovered this 79 year old researcher on sex and relationships and were hooked on her plain spoken insights.  I tuned in.  She was a spectacular communicator with vetted and validated information on a super important topic.  In other words, my ideal guest.  Here's where we started: the number one driver of happiness across time and culture is meaningful connection to others. So how do you get it and how do you keep it? Dr. Helen Fisher has been studying love for 5 decades. 5. That's a lot of information. Share this conversation with the people you love. Tons of takeaways that you can integrate immediately.

Several months ago, Sarah told her best friend John she's in love with him—but he doesn't love her back. Now Sarah can't get John out of her head, especially because they still talk all the time. How can Sarah move on from John? On this episode of How To!, we bring on Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist and the author of Anatomy of Love, to help Sarah train her heart—and her brain—to fall out of love. The first thing Sarah needs to do, Helen says, is cut off contact with John. Every time she sees him, it reactivates her brain circuitry for romantic love. And as beautiful as their friendship may be, it's holding Sarah back from finding her true love.  If you liked this episode, check out “How To Propose (to a Man).” Do you have a problem in your love life?

Up next, The science of sex, love, attraction, and obsession | Big Think Is polyamory a sustainable model for societies? Do partners really need to maintain the "spark" to have a healthy sex life? And should sex, romantic love, and attachment be viewed as phases of a relationship or as systems in the brain? As modern science continues to illuminate the timeless experiences of sex and love, we're learning more about the nature of healthy relationships and the often counterintuitive ways individuals can maximize both sexual pleasure and fulfillment in relationships. In this Big Think video, we explore all of the above through insights from anthropologist Helen Fisher, journalist Louise Perry, sex educator Emily Nagoski, primatologist Frans de Waal, and author Richard Reeves who examine sex and relationships across three key domains: your brain, your bedroom, and your society. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think:- ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business ------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Helen Fisher: Helen E.

Anthropologist Helen Fisher has long been trying to answer the question: why do you fall in love with one person rather than another? Her research says we've evolved four basic styles of thinking and behaving linked with the dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, and estrogen systems. Fisher used that research to create a questionnaire that's been taken by 15 million people in 40 countries, shedding light on how we choose our mates. She's also one of the experts behind the Singles in America survey from Match.com, the most recent of which shows that people are using AI in online dating, and are increasingly trying alternatives to monogamy.

How love makes us feel can only be defined on an individual basis, but what it does to the body, specifically the brain, is now less abstract thanks to science. One of the problems with early-stage attraction, according to anthropologist Helen Fisher, is that it activates parts of the brain that are linked to drive, craving, obsession, and motivation, while other regions that deal with decision-making shut down. Dr. Fisher, professor Ted Fischer, and psychiatrist Gail Saltz explain the different types of love, explore the neuroscience of love and attraction, and share tips for sustaining relationships that are healthy and mutually beneficial. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:32 Ted Fischer on love versus lust 0:56 Gail Saltz talks love and neurotransmitters 4:39 Helen Fisher on how love shuts down decision-making parts of our brains 8:15 Saltz on the science of a “good partner” 10:18 Helen Fisher on the importance of sex and romance for the brain and your relationship ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bigthink/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Why do we love? What brings us together? How to heal ethnic hatred? According to my guest, the answer to all these questions lies in the human desire to grow ourselves through connecting with others. Arthur Aron is a psychologist who studies human bonding in all its forms. A pioneer in the field, he has studied topics from connecting with strangers to maintaining romance in life-long marriages. And many of his findings are ultimately hopeful. In this conversation, we discuss topics such as: (4:30) Why we love  (12:50) Tools to cultivate love (24:30) Friendships with the ethnic "other”  (31:30) Are we naturally xenophobic?

Helen Fisher's debut, 'Space Hopper' was acclaimed as one of the most unique debuts of 2021, recommended by Cosmopolitan, Woman's Weekly', Marian Keyes, and many more, it looked set to launch her to a glittering career.Things weren't that simple for Helen. In the following 2 years, she wrote 3 novels which were all turned down and rejected. At an incredibly low point, she almost gave up. It was only the story of Joe, along with her editor, that gave her enough strength to carry on for one last go. 'Joe Nuthin's Guide to Life' tells the story of Joe, who likes everything predictable, consistent and in order, yet he soon finds an adventure pushes him well outside of his comfort zone, where sometimes joy lies.We discuss how Helen overcame her tricky 2 years, what she's learned from it, and how that is affecting how she approaches publication now. Also, you can hear why she's always writing, even when she isn't writing, why it wasn't the plot that drew her into the story, and how she made characters authentic, not cliched or predictable.This week's episode is sponsored by true-crime podcast, 'Who is the Cheese Wire Killer?', find it wherever you're listening to this!Support the show at patreon.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

We expect a lot from parents, especially from mothers. “Maternal instincts” are such, we are told, that mothers should gain almost literal superpowers from the joy of parenting.  Unfortunately, many parents face a different reality. Having children can be one of the most stressful times of life, amplified by feelings of guilt and inadequacy.  Why is this? Is this an inevitable part of the human condition? Or is the fault in our modern society? And how would we know the answer?  To address these questions, anthropologists have started comparing family lives in industrial societies with those of the last remaining hunter-gatherers.  Nikhil Chaudhary is one such anthropologist. A researcher at the University of Cambridge, he recently co-authored a remarkable paper on what we have learned about the family lives of hunter-gatherers. I invited him on the show to discuss the findings and their implications. So what is family life like amongst hunter-gatherers? Chaudhary's research paints a fascinating picture. Indeed, industrial societies can learn a lot from them. But not everything is easy for them, either. In addition to parenting, our conversation touched upon themes from monogamy and polyamory to parental grief, health spending, and the stark contrast between human and chimpanzee mothers.

Happy New Year 2024! To celebrate the new year, Spotify sent me a bunch of data points about 2023. I was particularly interested in one question: which conversation moved people the most? I already knew which episode people played the most. (That's episode 17 with Bernardo Kastrup.) But to listen is one thing. To share with friends and family is another. The most shared episode was my conversation with Helen Fisher, titled "A Cultural Biology of Sex, Love, and Monogamy". It was one of my favourite conversations, too. Fisher offered a sweeping take on romantic love, combining fascinating anthropology with practical tips about maintaining passion in relationships. She even convinced my parents to re-design their TV arrangement... Perhaps it deserves one more share. So here you go! ___ ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES Why do we love? And how much does our culture shape the way we do so? In this episode, Ilari talks with Helen Fisher about the powers that drive and shape our romantic relationships. Ilari and Professor Fisher discuss: Is romantic love a modern invention? Is monogamy a social invention?  Do men care more about sex? Do women care more about romance? Why agriculture, especially with the plough, caused havoc in romantic relationships. Why divorces might be on the decline. A science-based guide for maintaining romantic relations (based on couples who are still in love after 25 years) Why (certain) antidepressants can kill the sex drive and blunt romantic love (to read more, see the end of the notes) How common is polygamy or polyandry? Where in the world do we find most "free love"? Why did homosexuality evolve? Names mentioned Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt (as recounted by Alison Gopnik in her The Gardener and the Carpenter) Bill Jankowiak Robert Sternberg (see episode 7) Anderson Thompson Bertrand Russell  Technical terms and ethnic groups mentioned Ventral tegmental area VTA Hypothalamus Dopamine, testosterone, oxytocin, vasopressin, serotonine Monogamy (serial or lifelong; social or biological) Polygamy (several wives) and polyandry (several husbands)  Tlingit (the polyandrous Inuit society with wealthy women) Oneida community (in New York State) Dig Deeper Antidepressants: To read more about the possible effects of SSRIs on sex drive and romantic love, see ⁠Tocco and Brumbaugh (2019)⁠. Below is a list of possible alternatives or complements to SSRIs (please consult with your doctor in all matters related to pharmaceuticals): Fisher herself suggested that SNRIs could be less risky than SSRIs. Theoretically, dopamine reuptake inhibitors, such as bupropion, could also counter the risks associated with SSRIs (for a review, see ⁠Zisook et al. 2006⁠). For alternative or complementary oral treatments of depression, see research on supplementation with a high dosage of Omega 3 (EPA and DHA, not ALA) (for a review, see ⁠Bhat & Ara 2015⁠). Polyamory: In the episode, Professor Fisher suggests that many Amazonian tribes have informal polyandry, i.e. women have many partners, albeit only one formal husband. However, there are ⁠non-academic sources⁠ suggesting that formalised polyandry is common in the Zo'é community in Amazon. For some of these photos of Zo'é and other Amazonian tribes, many of whom exhibit remarkably liberal attitudes to sex, see the ⁠recent Amazonia exhibition⁠ in the London Science Museum.

Visit: www.psych2go.supercast.com Dr. Helen Fisher, who is a research professor of anthropology, has studied human love for years. She's made groundbreaking discoveries about who people are as lovers and the love they seek as a result. There are four love types that she discovered: the explorer, builder, director, and negotiator. Explorers are dominant in dopamine. Builders are dominant in serotonin. Directors are dominant in testosterone. And negotiators are dominant in estrogen. Based on our chemical makeup, it also shows in our personality characteristics, habits, and lifestyle preferences.

Online dating has changed the way we approach and pursue relationships. Like so much in modern life, potential partners are at the mercy of an algorithm that decides who we interact with. But has technology actually changed what we're looking for? Can attraction and desire be predicted? Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist and Chief Science Advisor at Match.com, has been on the front lines of the clash between a centuries-old phenomenon and relatively new technology. In this episode, she talks to CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta about what has and hasn't changed about the dating brain. Learn more about your ad choices.

Introduction I was told not to think too much about love. Obsess over it, let it dye the very fabric of my being: but do not think about it. Why, after all, would I want to overanalyse the magic and mystery? Would this not reduce a storybook to words and pages? I was told that I was incomplete and was to search for another who would make me whole. This search, I was promised, would lead me to a partner I would love and be happy with forever. And are love and happiness not required for a good life? Yet, these demands, these stories, and these questions feel restrictive and misleading. Why must I not think about what you say is so important? Why must I believe a story I have seen end in tears countless time? It is time we started taking control of love rather than letting love control us. There is no one size fits all approach given to us by nature: not everyone finds ‘the one', not everyone wants to find the one, and not all relationships need to last. Imagine the lives we could craft if we loved proactively, with honesty and freedom. If we all did this together, we could choose what we wanted and not be pressured into what we've been told is good. And given the importance of love, is this not worth a try, even if the magic fades? Contents Part I. Happily Ever After Part II. What Love Is Part III. Sad Love Part IV.

It's V-Day-Week! Your hosts are joined once again by sex scientist and one of Match.com's Chief Scientific Advisors, Dr. Helen Fisher, to discuss personality styles and dating trends! She explains the 4 personality styles she's identified and discusses the quiz that they all (and even Michael — and 15 million other people) took to figure out their style. Considered a TED All-Star, Dr. Fisher has over 21 million views on her talks, and today offers insight on new dating trends she's seen from her annual Singles in America study. The 2022 study included questions about Roe v. Wade and inflation, which had notable results on people's approach to dating. Speaking of love, Dani is on the move to Cleveland to be with Michael, and Jac may just have someone special that we get a little V-Day update on.   To learn more from Helen and purchase her books visit helenfisher.com and check out theanatomyoflove.com to take her personality test.  Thanks to our amazing sponsors for making this episode possible:  Seed — Start a new healthy habit today.

There is a lot to know about what makes love last. People like John Gottman and Helen Fisher have been studying sex, love and connection for decades. Here's a few excellent ideas to hold on to as you live out the day to day of your core relationships. (Very good episode to share with your partner. Will start a valuable conversation!)

Dr. Anthony Gustin welcomes back Dr. Molly Maloof, an entrepreneur, Stanford professor, and biohacker for an information-packed episode.    You'll hear how the pandemic taught Dr. Molly that social bonds and community are just as vital to our health as good nutrition, sleep, and exercise. She also discusses the quantified self, how to heal past trauma to prevent and reverse metabolic disease, and touches on her research with psychedelic therapies.   Dr. Molly then ventures into her new fascination with emerging sex therapy protocols, an overlooked area that hasn't been innovated in 50 years. She highlights the recent epidemic of sexual trauma and sexual dysfunction plaguing society, and how we can learn to heal through meditation and the reprogramming of our thoughts and memories (in what she calls the “next wave of psychiatry”).   As a practicing physician and healthcare reform lobbyist, Dr. Molly also touches on how to create a community of people who advocate for their wellbeing in a broken healthcare system designed to keep us sick for profit.   In this episode, you'll hear about: How Dr. Molly assesses her patient's social and support networks along with their general health The benefits of creating stronger social ties and being more engaged in your community  Why the next frontier of optimizing health is tackling stress and improving mental, emotional, and spiritual health How stress manifests itself in our physiology and sexual dysfunction, especially for women, and the sexual trauma epidemic plaguing the nation  Studying implicit vs. explicit memories and how we can change our brain's “programming” to lessen the reactivity and negativity triggered by past trauma, PTSD, childhood experiences, etc. Meeting our pain with compassion  Connecting to a higher power via meditation and spiritual coaching in the absence of formal religion Psychedelic therapies and regenerative medicine like NAD Why EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) might help people who haven't had luck with talk therapy   Resources mentioned in this episode: Dr. Molly Maloof's website where you can find her online course based on the one she teaches at Stanford and preorder her new book, The Spark Factor Dr. Maloof's Instagram: @drmolly.co Natural Action Water Revitalization Polar H10 Hanu Oura Ring EMDR Mindlight Myneurva remote neurofeedback therapy Sue Carter, who's studied the endocrinology of love and social bonds for over 30 years Helen Fisher, the most cited woman on love

Dating - for most of us, it's a necessary evil. We fear rejection, don't know where to look for our people, or simply feel it's a hopeless waste of time. But as my guests on today's show can attest, the research behind dating may tell a different story. Today, I'm joined by Anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher and evolutionary biologist Dr. Justin Garcia of the Kinsey Institute. They pulled data from 5,000 American singles ages 18-89 as part of Match's annual Singles in America survey, and the results are fascinating. People dating more consciously - hookup culture is dead, and singles are prioritizing things like political awareness rather than looks. We'll unpack their findings and why today's singles should be more optimistic than ever about finding their match.Show Notes:Sexiest Gift Guide Ever: Emily's Picks for 2022 HolidaysArticle: Cold Weather Date Ideas7 New Ways to Use a Magic WandSingles in America StudyMore Dr. Helen Fisher: WebsiteMore Dr. Justin Garcia: Kinsey Institute Bio | Instagram | Twitter Hosted on Acast.
