Igor and Charles share and discuss responses given to the question about positive change in response to the pandemic by 57 of the world's leading behavioral and social scientists, collected as part of the World After Covid (https://worldaftercovid.info/) project. Each episode, four responses are selected. This time, the conversation covers themes of political cooperation, nature, solidarity, and prosocial behaviour in the midst of the pandemic.

While the current stereotype of Asian-British is that they are smart, competent and hard-working, a century ago, Asian-British were perceived as illiterate, undesirable, full of “filth and disease” and unassimilable. This episode is a candid conversation with an AUTHENTICITY COACH Samraj who grew up in west London as a British Punjabi and talks about a number of experiences and roles we play in both societies as British and Punjabi. Listen out for: British Asians VS South Asian Cultures How movies, like Bend it like Beckham, were so relevant Does the Punjabi community love to compare? Confronting South Asians Stereotypes Samraj in his own words… I truly believe that at this moment, every single person is where they need to be. I work full time in the corporate space and recently in part time in the world of self-growth and personal development. The two combined gives me a rich and unique insight into the importance of emotional intelligence and authenticity. I am convinced that these things together are the perfect blend for happiness and effective living. It all starts with taking control of your life. Expectations of others, self-doubt and people-pleasing are some of the most common obstacles we face. I know this from lived experience. I have been on a journey for many years spending thousands of pounds on books and courses to understand what it meant to be me, what I really wanted and what I needed to do to live a life with no fundamental regrets. I was coaching myself during those years, something I later realised. My work as a life coach focuses on achieving happiness by tapping into the single thing that cannot be replicated, being ourselves. What makes me different? My personal journey to liberated living pushed me into the world of professional transformational coaching, where I could help others do the same. I have crafted a personalised program where my clients go through a more fast-tracked and focused experience connecting who they really are to everything they do.

Neuroaesthetics | Symposium Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 22.-24. November 2012 In Kooperation und mit Unterstützung der Gemeinnützigen Hertie-Stiftung. Numerous studies conducted under the banner of cultural psychology during the last two decades have documented substantial cultural variation in attention and perception. This literature has made three important points. First, whereas people in Western cultures tend to place a greater emphasis on an object in lieu of its context, those in Eastern cultures tend to be more holistically attentive to both the object and its context and closely attuned to the relationship between the two. Second, although the origin of this cultural difference is multifaceted, one potent factor is the culturally dominant mode of the self and social relations. The object-focused perception and the holistic perception have been traced back, respectively, to an independent or an interdependent form of the self and social relations. Third, although behavioral evidence is indispensable, neuroscience investigations of culture and perception have presented a strikingly strong promise, beginning to uncover important neural bases of the cultural variation in attention and perception. In this lecture, I will review evidence pertaining to each of these points and discuss some implications for cultural variations in art forms and art appreciation. Dr. Shinobu Kitayama is Robert B. Zajonc Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. He also directs the University’s Center for Culture, Mind, and the Brain. Over the last two decades, he investigated cultural variations in self and other related psychological processes including cognition, emotion, and motivation. Most recently, he has started to examine the neural basis of these cultural variations, with the ultimate goal to better understand the nature of the mutually constitutive process between cultural beliefs and practices and the human brain. Before Michigan, he taught at Oregon, Kyoto, Stanford, and Chicago. He was a Fellow, twice, at the Center for Advanced Studies in Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, CA (1995–1996, 2007–2008). A recent recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, he has been inducted to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His work on culture and self with Hazel Rose Markus (Psychological Review, 1991) is one of the most frequently cited in the entire field of social and behavioral sciences.
