The 27 Club: Why Our Brains Can’t Handle Fame | Dr. Catherine Salmon
Description
Dr. Catherine Salmon, an evolutionary psychologist, discusses the disparity between our evolved craving for recognition and the outsized scale of modern-day fame. She explains how social media amplifies this gap, affecting mental health and leading some to substance abuse. The conversation also touches on the differences between short-term satisfaction and long-term happiness, and the evolutionary basis behind our pursuit of status and reproduction.
