Overview
Drawing from his book “The Well-Tuned Brain,” psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Peter Whybrow explores how understanding the human brain can help us create more rewarding lives and a more sustainable future. The Director of Neuroscience for the Semel Institute at UCLA, Dr. Whybrow examines how ancient survival instincts interact with the demands of technology and modern society. By considering the importance of social connection, education, curiosity and our relationship with nature, he argues that genuine human progress depends not only on innovation but also on understanding and cultivating our better nature.
