Description

What if meditation wasn’t what you think it is? Forget the cliché of the monk sitting in silence trying to think about "nothing."

In this episode of Learning English with Human Beans, Alice and Marc (a cognitive psychology researcher) lift the hood of the human mind to watch the engine running.

Discover metacognition, a mental "superpower" that allows you to switch from being an actor trapped in your own movie to becoming a free, benevolent spectator. Learn why your brain loves "autopilot," how to turn down the volume on your internal radio, and how to finally regain control... paradoxically, by stopping the struggle to control everything.
