In this episode of Sex with Emily, renowned psychiatrist and brain expert Dr. Daniel Amen joins us to explore how our "hidden dragons", the unconscious patterns from our past, are secretly controlling our happiness, relationships, and sex lives. Based on his latest book, "Your Brain is Always Listening," Dr. Amen reveals how childhood experiences, family trauma, and even ancestral patterns get written into our brains and show up in our intimate relationships. We dive deep into the most common dragons people face, including the anxious dragon, the abandoned and insignificant dragon, and the codependent dragon. Dr. Amen shares his personal journey with these patterns and explains how understanding your dragons can transform not just your mental health, but your sexual wellness too. We explore the connection between brain health and sexual function, why ADD can impact orgasms, and how negative thought patterns become "bad habits" that sabotage intimacy. This episode includes practical tools like positivity bias training, the power of rewriting your story, and specific breathing techniques that can reset your nervous system. Dr. Amen also addresses a listener's question about cheating addiction and explains how brain scans revealed the neurological patterns behind compulsive behavior. Whether you're struggling with commitment issues, sexual anxiety, or just want to understand how your brain affects your love life, this conversation offers both scientific insights and actionable strategies for creating healthier relationships.

It illustrates how this constant flow of news can contribute to stress and anxiety.Human Connection: One of the central themes of the film is the paradox of technology: while it connects us more than ever, it can also alienate us. Shlain discusses the importance of face-to-face interactions and the need for balance in the digital age.Cognitive Impacts: "24" examines how pervasive technology affects our cognition, attention spans, and even our emotional well-being.

Today, I'm speaking with Dr. Ross Andel. Dr. Andel is a gerontologist, professor, and director of the PhD program at Arizona State University. Ross has spent decades researching aging, memory, and lifestyle-related cognitive health risks. In 2023, he was elected a lifetime fellow of the American Association for his achievements in the study of risk factors for age-related cognitive decline for Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. Dr. Andel explains how daily routines and purpose directly impact brain function and why some retirees experience faster cognitive decline than others. He shares his findings from several international studies—including his viral TED Talk, "Is Retirement Bad for Your Brain?"—and delves into why your post-retirement plan matters just as much as your financial one. In our conversation, you'll hear why those who retire from high-level managerial careers may be at greater risk for faster cognitive decline in retirement, how volunteering and pursuing new hobbies improves brain function and Dr. Andel's poignant advice for anyone who is a caretaker for a loved one that is suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why retirement without purpose can accelerate cognitive decline—and how to avoid the retirement trap. The connection between high-engagement careers and faster post-retirement mental decline. What research says about sleep, supplements, and cardiometabolic health for brain function.

In this conversation, Debbie interviews bestselling author Kelly Corrigan, along with her daughter and coauthor, Claire Corrigan Lichty. They talk about their new children's book, Marianne the Maker, which highlights how creativity and hands-on making can support well-being for kids and adults alike.

Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.usAI Chefs Are Changing the Menu—For Better or WeirderAI is now cooking up restaurant menus, inventing dishes humans wouldn't dream of. Some are fire, others… not so much. Chefs are torn: is AI helping elevate the craft or just serving up soulless food science? The kitchen's getting coded.Fixing AI Hallucinations Is Way Harder Than It Should BeAI still makes stuff up with way too much confidence, and fixing it isn't easy. Engineers are trying band-aid solutions, but the core issue's baked in. Until we solve this, trusting your chatbot is basically vibes-based.Your Brain on AI: Is Tech Making Us Mentally Softer?We're offloading brainpower to AI—outsourcing memory, decisions, even thinking. Handy? Yeah. Healthy? Debatable. Experts warn we might be trading mental sharpness for convenience, like letting your phone do all the remembering while your brain collects dust.AI in Hollywood: Quietly Replacing the Creative GrindWriters' rooms and VFX studios are getting an AI upgrade—and creatives are kinda sweating. Studios love the speed and cost cuts, but artists worry the soul of storytelling's getting automated. The future of film might be part human, part machine. The Internet's Filling Up with AI Junk—And You're Clicking ItAI is flooding the internet with meh content—fast, cheap, and everywhere. It's not great, but it works. Engagement over quality is the new norm, and if you've ever read a mid article and thought “this feels off,” yeah… it probably was. Dead Celebs Are Now Chatbots—and It's Getting WeirdImagine chatting with an AI Kurt Cobain. It's real, it's disturbing, and it's raising huge ethical red flags. These bots mimic dead celebs for clicks and clout, and honestly, it's blurring the line between tribute and exploitation.Outsourcing Our Brains: The AI Offload DilemmaWe're letting AI do our thinking—remembering stuff, making choices, solving problems. It's convenient, but at what cost? Cognitive offloading might be shrinking our mental muscles. If we don't stay engaged, we risk becoming passive users in a world where machines call the mental shots.
Here's another fantastic conversation with Justin Barrett, cognitive scientist extraordinaire, who spends his time at the intersection of science and religion. We dove deep into why developmental psychology is such a powerful lens for understanding human nature - turns out you can't figure out if a zebra is white with black stripes or black with white stripes just by looking at adult zebras, you've got to watch how they develop. Justin walked us through the fascinating story of human evolution and our hyper-sociality, from our massive brains (five to seven times bigger than expected for mammals our size!) to our unique ability to think about each other's thoughts about our thoughts. We explored how kids naturally develop agency detection, theory of mind, and teleological reasoning - basically why three-year-olds spontaneously ask "what's that mountain for?" and start wondering about invisible agents. Then we got into the weeds about how our Stone Age minds are navigating modern technologies like social media and AI, with Justin making a compelling case using his "kudzu analogy" about technologies that spread too fast for us to understand their consequences. From the crisis of masculinity to boomers getting radicalized during COVID lockdowns, we covered how our evolved psychology is both a gift and a vulnerability in our rapidly changing world. Check out his new book, How Can Your Faith Fuel Scientific Discovery?: Questions and Reflections for Becoming an Integrated Scientist. Justin L. Barrett is President of Blueprint 1543 and honorary Professor of Theology and the Sciences at St Andrews University School of Divinity. Barrett previously taught in Fuller Theological Seminary's School of Psychology, in the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University, at the University of Michigan, and at Calvin University.

Why do we keep making money decisions that go against our best interests? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Hanna Horvath, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and financial psychology expert, to unpack why our brains are literally wired to sabotage our financial goals—and what we can do to change that. Hanna shares powerful insights from her work as the creator of “Your Brain on Money,” explaining how cognitive biases like loss aversion and decision fatigue impact everything from investing to impulse spending. We also dive into why more money doesn't automatically equal more peace, how to align your financial habits with your core values, and practical strategies to work with your brain rather than against it. Plus, Hanna reveals the simple mindset shifts that can help you spend without guilt, stop financial perfectionism in its tracks, and finally break free from those unconscious money scripts that are keeping you stuck. You'll hear: Why our brains are wired to make terrible financial decisions The connection between money anxiety and identity How to set up financial guardrails that align with your values The role of decision fatigue in impulsive spending How to separate self-worth from net worth You'll walk away knowing: Our brains are hardwired to make poor money choices. Loss aversion can lead to irrational financial behaviors. Understanding the emotional aspects of money is crucial. Automating financial decisions can reduce decision fatigue. Creating guardrails helps in making better financial choices. The digital age has made spending frictionless and impulsive. Investing can feel less tangible and more emotional than spending. Self-compassion is key in financial decision-making. Recognizing the disconnect between financial reality and emotions is important. Labeling oneself as 'bad with money' can be counterproductive. Practice self-compassion in financial behavior. Financial habits are a journey, not a destination. Social media heightens financial anxiety. Follow Hanna for more financial psychology insights. https://yourbrainonmoney.substack.com/ Website: https://www.hannahorvath.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourbrain_onmoney/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@yourbrainonmoney LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hanna-riley-horvath/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yourbrainonmoney Don't forget to follow us @everyonestalkinmoney for more money mindset content.

I NEEDED to record this episode because I keep having these conversations with parents living in Procrastination Purgatory, and I'm like "HELLO, I SEE YOU BECAUSE I WAS YOU!"Remember promising yourself you'd stop yelling "tomorrow"? And tomorrow came and went?So I'm diving into why our brains sabotage our parenting goals. There's actual science behind the "yell now, feel guilty later" cycle. (It's called delay discounting.)

Episode Summary We're constantly bombarded with notifications, emails, social media updates, and a steady stream of mental noise. It feels productive, but in reality, it's draining our focus, creativity, and mental energy. Just like our bodies benefit from intermittent fasting, our minds need regular breaks from constant input. Yet, many of us struggle with even a few moments of true silence. In this episode, we explore the power of mental fasting—why stepping away from constant stimulation can help you gain clarity, reduce stress, and unlock your best ideas. Plus, I share my own struggle with slipping back into the trap of overstimulation and what I'm doing to reset. What I Discuss in This Episode · Why too much mental input creates foggy thinking and anxiety · How regular “mental fasting” leads to clearer, more creative thinking · Simple ways to build mental fasting into your daily routine · Why a quiet mind isn't an empty mind; it's a free-thinking mind Key Takeaways 1. Your Brain is Overloaded with Mental Sugar Every notification, news alert, and email gives you a dopamine hit... but at a cost. Too much input leads to stress, anxiety, and mental exhaustion. Like junk food, overconsumption of information makes you sluggish and unfocused. 2. Mental Fasting Creates Clarity and Creativity The best ideas don't come when you're constantly consuming Quiet time helps reduce stress, sharpen decision-making, and improve focus. Even a few minutes of mental fasting can make a noticeable difference. 3. Start Small: 15 Minutes of Daily Silence Commit to just 15 minutes of quiet each morning. No phone, no music, no distractions. Over time, expand this to longer breaks, like half a day without your phone on weekends. Experiment with deeper mental fasts, such as a full day without screens. Actionable Exercises · 15-Minute Morning Mental Fast: Start your day with 15 minutes of complete silence. No inputs. Just sit and let your thoughts settle. · Weekend Phone Detox: Put your phone in a drawer for a half-day on Saturday or Sunday. · Full Digital Sabbath: Try going screen-free from sunrise to sunset once a week and notice how it affects your focus and creativity (yikes!). Listener Challenge This week, commit to one small mental fast—even just 15 minutes of silence in the morning. See how it impacts your clarity, stress levels, and creativity.

Would you define your family as an ADHD family? Today's guest, Dr. Tamara Rosier, and the author of the book You, Me, and Our ADHD Family: Practical Steps to Cultivate Healthy Relationships, says that ADHD isn't an individual experience – it's a relational one. And the ADHD dynamic affects the entire family system.

In our conversation, Tamara shared her personal and professional insights on what it really means to live in an ADHD family, from the emotional rollercoasters to the quirky dynamics that might feel familiar to you. We talked about how ADHD deeply affects relationships, communication, and emotional regulation across the whole family system. Tamara offered creative, relatable metaphors that help make sense of ADHD behaviors, and she emphasized the importance of self-awareness and revisiting our own childhoods to parent with more clarity and empathy.

But those of us who pursue the arts instinctually recognize that there is something in creative expression that is foundational to the human experience. Susan Magsamen, executive director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, has spent years studying the effect art has on our mind and body. Her research is surfacing profound health and longevity benefits created through poetry, music, painting, and other arts. Susan recently collaborated with Ivy Ross, Chief Design Officer for Consumer Devices at Google, to co-author a fascinating book called Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us. We speak with Susan and Ivy about how they found their way into collaborating on the book, why we are “wired for art,” how practicing art can actually extend your lifespan significantly, and how they bring the ideas in their book into their work to reduce stress and help teams perform at their peak. Bios Ivy Ross Ivy Ross is the Vice President of Hardware Design at Google, where she led the creation of the award-winning design language for Google's hardware products. With a background spanning executive roles at Calvin Klein, Swatch, Coach, Mattel, and Gap, Ivy blends design, science, and psychology to drive innovation. Her work has earned over 240 design awards, and she has been recognized by Fast Company, Business Insider, and Surface magazine as a creative leader. A former jewelry designer with works in major museum collections, she is also a sought-after speaker and contributor to books on creativity, leadership, and design.

Dean Buonomano runs the Buonomano lab at UCLA. Dean was a guest on Brain Inspired way back on episode 18, where we talked about his book Your Brain is a Time Machine: The Neuroscience and Physics of Time, which details much of his thought and research about how centrally important time is for virtually everything we do, different conceptions of time in philosophy, and how how brains might tell time. That was almost 7 years ago, and his work on time and dynamics in computational neuroscience continues. One thing we discuss today, later in the episode, is his recent work using organotypic brain slices to test the idea that cortical circuits implement timing as a computational primitive it's something they do by they're very nature. Organotypic brain slices are between what I think of as traditional brain slices and full on organoids. Brain slices are extracted from an organism, and maintained in a brain-like fluid while you perform experiments on them. Organoids start with a small amount of cells that you the culture, and let them divide and grow and specialize, until you have a mass of cells that have grown into an organ of some sort, to then perform experiments on. Organotypic brain slices are extracted from an organism, like brain slices, but then also cultured for some time to let them settle back into some sort of near-homeostatic point - to them as close as you can to what they're like in the intact brain... then perform experiments on them. Dean and his colleagues use optigenetics to train their brain slices to predict the timing of the stimuli, and they find the populations of neurons do indeed learn to predict the timing of the stimuli, and that they exhibit replaying of those sequences similar to the replay seen in brain areas like the hippocampus. But, we begin our conversation talking about Dean's recent piece in The Transmitter, that I'll point to in the show notes, called The brain holds no exclusive rights on how to create intelligence. There he argues that modern AI is likely to continue its recent successes despite the ongoing divergence between AI and neuroscience. This is in contrast to what folks in NeuroAI believe. We then talk about his recent chapter with physicist Carlo Rovelli, titled Bridging the neuroscience and physics of time, in which Dean and Carlo examine where neuroscience and physics disagree and where they agree about the nature of time. Finally, we discuss Dean's thoughts on the integrated information theory of consciousness, or IIT. IIT has see a little controversy lately. Over 100 scientists, a large part of that group calling themselves IIT-Concerned, have expressed concern that IIT is actually unscientific. This has cause backlash and anti-backlash, and all sorts of fun expression from many interested people. Dean explains his own views about why he thinks IIT is not in the purview of science - namely that it doesn't play well with the existing ontology of what physics says about science. What I just said doesn't do justice to his arguments, which he articulates much better. Buonomano lab. Related papers The brain holds no exclusive rights on how to create intelligence.

There's a moment—maybe you've lived it—when the email goes unanswered, the dishwasher remains unloaded, the phone rings but your hand doesn't move. You're not tired. You're not lazy. You're just… stuck.We call it overwhelm. But what if that word is too small? What if what you're feeling is your brain's way of saying, This system is not working for me?In this episode of our Duos series, we bring together two people who have spent their careers listening to the quiet, misunderstood signals of ADHD: Dr. Tamara Rosier, author of Your Brain's Not Broken and You, Me, and Our ADHD Family, and Brooke Schnittman, author of Activate Your ADHD Potential.Tamara talks about emotional flooding—those tidal waves of feeling that hit before a single task is done. Brooke explains how to pause just long enough to choose a different direction. Together, they unpack why ADHD-related overwhelm isn't a sign of failure, but a clue. A trailhead. A door.Because maybe, just maybe, the problem isn't that your brain is broken. Maybe it's that the world was built for a different kind of mind. Maybe the first step isn't pushing through. It's listening.
