Why do we giggle, snort, and bust a gut laughing? Is it just humans being weird, does it serve some higher function or do other animals crack up too? And, okay, Dara is a comedian, but has he ever really made anyone laugh, like properly? With help from Professor Greg Bryant and Professor Sophie Scott, they dive into the science of LOLs, exploring how laughter bonds us, eases stress, and even spices up flirting. They uncover the difference between genuine belly laughs and those polite chuckles that pepper everyday interactions.

A new series of All in the Mind kicks off with the first of the finalists in the All in the Mind Awards. Seven hundred of you entered the awards and our judging panel had the tricky task of choosing just nine finalists. The first of those is Rachel who was nominated by her husband Sam for all the support she offered him through his depression and psychosis. They tell Claudia Hammond their story.And in the studio with Claudia is Daryl O'Connor, Professor of Psychology at the University of Leeds. He's got research about a new approach to persuading people with psychosis to look for and accept psychological support. And Claudia speaks to psychotherapist Sophie Scott about how to persuade a loved one to get professional help when they don't want to.And finally, new research showing that the psychological benefits of a holiday last longer than you think - but only if you really do switch off from work. And you can make them last even longer by being active on holiday rather than flopping by the pool every day. Daryl and Claudia discuss.Presenter: Claudia Hammond, Producer: Lorna Stewart Studio Manager: Sue Maillot Programme Coordintator: Siobhan Maguire Content Editor: Holly Squire

Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies.While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it's the universal journey of being human.And as a listener, I hope you'll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.Fourth - author and psychotherapist, Sophie Scott.Listen to the full episode ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Watch the full episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.***Thank you to my wonderful sponsors! VivoBarefoot | 'If you can't be barefoot, be Vivobarefoot'For 20% off, use code LWBW20www.vivobarefoot.comOneSkin | Topical Products for Healthy Aginghttp://oneskin.co/LWBWUse code LWBW for 15% off your first order ***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:The Hidden Dangers of Being TOO Productive | Oliver Burkemanhttps://youtu.be/Eg3yMIM9R4o?si=RPl152l8WgYuoPXMYung Pueblo's ONE Habit That CHANGED His Life Foreverhttps://youtu.be/a5_16t0gIlk?si=D_lAYPWjzTh9AOORThis Is HOW You Can Architect Your Emotions | Dr. Lisa Feldman Barretthttps://youtu.be/Es2i3oLj6Nw?si=-DFwWsDtDADKByFB***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

Celebrating our 102nd episode, we (that's Meg and Bella!)  reflect on our favourite podcast episodes and the conversations that we have had the honour of recording of the last two years. Join us as we share stories from our favourite episodes featuring inspiring guests like William Porter, Professor Selena Bartlett, Annie Grace, Emma Bardwell, Sophie Scott and Jolene Park, who have enriched our understanding of how alcohol impacts our health, including menopause, anxiety, depression, joy and relationships. The transformative power of living without alcohol (or less of it!) has been the centrepiece of our podcast but the underlying issues are what make our interviews thought provoking and inspiring. Navigating life without alcohol as our safety blanket has brought newfound self-trust and stability in our relationships, and we are eager to support others on their journeys by sharing our stories and those of our guests. Our message: you are not alone and you can do this too! Tune in for a conversation that celebrates personal growth, the power of community, and the profound shift that comes with embracing an alcohol-free or alcohol-minimal lifestyle.

Are you looking forward to the lighter evenings of summer? Perhaps you're already feeling different as the seasons change and the green shoots of spring arrive? This week on All in the Mind we're taking a look at how the seasons affect our moods, thoughts and behaviours. Claudia Hammond speaks to Michael Varnum from Arizona State University about what the research says. Cognitive neuroscientist Sophie Scott, joins Claudia in the studio to ask what it means for the science of psychology if the seasons have such a profound effect.And we hear from a project in Northern Ireland that teaches people to have hope. Marie Dunne was inspired to set up the project, called Resilio, after witnessing the success of a programme designed to teach hope in schools. Based on that programme Resilio developed their own hope courses for adults. We hear from people who have benefitted from those courses, and from people who run them, about how to find hope. Finally, Sophie Scott discusses a new study which found that male psychology scholars were less likely to think of female scholars when asked to name eminent researchers in that field.

When I first encountered Sophie Scott, I was struck by her fascinating transformation from Journalist to a beacon in the realm of mental health and neuroscience. Together, we navigate the complexities of our relationship with alcohol, as Sophie shares her experiences and scientific insights. The impact of alcohol on our well-being is profound, and Sophie illuminates the benefits of sobriety with the wisdom of someone who has walked this path personally and professionally. Our conversation spans from embracing the support of a like-minded community to the significance of small, daily mental health practices that can reshape the fabric of our lives.Sophie Scott's expertise shines as she debunks the myth that alcohol is the antidote for anxiety. Instead, we explore actionable strategies for anxiety management that promote long-term mental health. Our chat about the physiological sigh, a simple yet powerful breathing technique, exemplifies the practical tools one can employ to soothe the nervous system immediately. We unpack the concept of high functioning anxiety, where success hides internal battles, and how small habits can make a big difference in our daily lives without relying on motivation.Our heartfelt discussion on burnout hits close to home, as we identify its early signs and the importance of timely intervention. Drawing from the Sydney Burnout Study and our personal experiences, we underscore the necessity of setting boundaries and the profound relief found in rest and recuperation. This episode is not just about the struggle but also the catharsis of forging a path to peak performance through self-care and sobriety, all while fostering authentic connections and prioritizing the relationships that truly matter. Join us in this enriching dialogue that's as much about the science as it is about the soulful journey to a healthier self.Visit our website: https://thrivalistsobriety.comFollow Thrivalist here on InstagramJoin the free Facebook Community here.

Is the academy and our culture as a whole in need of newer, bigger ideas?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesIn the first half of the twentieth century radical thinkers, from Einstein to Schrödinger, Russell to Wittgenstein, Woolf to de Beauvoir, were transforming ideas. But many wonder where the equivalents are today and point to a deep seated flaw. Universities and research labs have become increasingly specialised and focus on small 'piecemeal advance' leaving little room for originality and big thinking. Studies confirm a bias against publishing novel research and 90% of papers remain uncited, possibly unread by anyone.Should we encourage a less specialised and broader approach to create the breakthroughs and radical ideas of the future? Do we need to change the way university appointments are made and articles reviewed to escape conventional set thinking? Or have the big theories largely been found already and have we now only to fill in the gaps?There are thousands of big ideas to discover at IAI.tv – videos, articles, and courses waiting for you to explore.

Is human agency a fantasy?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesWe may not always agree on questions of morality, but whatever standards we adopt we apply them to human action. We are less inclined to take a moral stance on human inaction and failure to act. Many would argue that Putin's attack on the Ukrainian people is morally evil, but there is less outrage that we fail to save any of the estimated 5.4 million children under five who died last year from preventable causes.Is our moral emphasis on human agency a mistake? If we applied morality equally to inaction would it help to mark a shift to a more caring and socially responsible society? Or is the application of morality to inaction an impossible burden for us to carry, and one that risks undermining morality as a whole as we all become culpable all of the time?Legendary moral philosopher Peter Singer (joining us live from Australia), eminent philosopher Julian Baggini and provocative biographer Sophie Scott-Brown clash over morality.

Born in 1922, Hattie Jacques began her career in music hall before graduating onto the radio comedies of the 1950s such as Educating Archie', 'It's That Man Again' and 'Hancock's Half Hour' where she became a star. TV and films followed, most notably the role of Eric Sykes' twin sister in 'Sykes' and the stern but lovelorn matron, headmistress or housekeeper in the 'Carry On' films. Hattie was teased about her weight in school and she was often the person being laughed at in her work. She largely accepted this role but yearned to do more serious work. In contrast to many of the characters she played she was a vivacious person who loved men and liked a party. Choosing Hattie is neuroscientist Sophie Scott who remembers Hattie as the first funny woman she heard or saw. Sophie studies why we laugh and says it was great how Hattie held her own with these men. Together with expert Andy Merriman they explore Hattie's life including how she did her own welding in a film, her marriage to John Le Mesurier and affair with John Schofield, and whether the typecasting she suffered was a hindrance or a benefit to her career. Presented by Matthew Parris who remembers Hattie uttering "But not with a daffodil!" in 'Carry On Nurse'. You'll have to listen to find out where exactly that daffodil was discovered. Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Toby Field.

Giggles, guffaws, or belly laughs -- whenever we crack up, we're communicating more than we realize. Laughter, says Dr. Sophie Scott, a neuroscientist at University College London as well as a standup comic, is pretty complicated. It's a way of expressing group membership and affection (as long as nobody is laughing AT you) and involves a physical reaction as well as an emotional one. Scott can make you laugh -- and then explain why you did!

Among the things I learned reading Sophie Scott's fabulous, super-smart and sexy new book, The Brain: 10 Things You Should Know: The brain itself has no feeling, I could be poking your exposed brain with my fingers (though I wouldn't!… I don't think) and you'd be like, “Pass the salt, please.” That everything we experience is the brain's best guess at what is out there. And that while your body constantly renews itself - the lining of your gut in 2 - 4 days; all your red blood cells in 40 - there is one and only one body part you keep from birth to death."I am also interested in the expression of emotion in the voice, especially laughter,” writes Scott, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and director of the Institute for Cognitive at Neuroscience at University College in London, who joins me to talk about: * “The good glue” that is laughter* Why left-handed people pay attention to the world differently* “Synaptic exuberance,” or humans' terrific inventiveness and flexibility in adapting to different environments, all of which relies on our brains' ability to change* The endorphin rush that made Scott fall backwards into a bath while attempting to take off her coat* The reason my brain once created the sound of a hard hat striking cementAnd much more!
