Rate ShowThank you
I listened to these podcasts with great pleasure and interest every day. I only found out about Hidden Brain recently.l ( I am an LCSW). It helps me think better how to help some of my clients and of course myself. I am deeply appreciative of the work you do. Thank you and please, do continue your work!!

Do Less
I have shared the Do Less episode with colleagues and friends struggling with burn out at work, some of it related to the pandemics we are facing, some related to social and civic changes we are negotiating. Do Less became my mantra this spring as I worked with my board to shape an organizational strategic plan and faced that I no longer knew how take a real vacation. Thank you.

Thank you from a jazz musician
I was recording a solo recently and I kept on making mistakes and having to do it over and over again and then I remember something about your episode on performance anxiety and getting really good performance and I tried a little trick that was listed in the episode and I got a very nice take…! So thank you for your work… It helps me become a better artist…!

Secret Treasure!
I just happened to hear a part of this program on my car radio and I had to sit in the car to finish the program. Brilliant, fascinating information about how our brain effects our life and we how have the power to help it serve us or harm us.

Curiosity
Love your podcast. I have been a fan from the very start.
Question: is curiosity an innate trait, or can it be a learned sensibility/sensitivity given a specific environment?

Almost Excellent Podcast
This is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to while I work out or work on tasks at my place of employment. I deeply appreciate the attention to detail given to the variety of subject matters that this podcast covers. My gripes however come from the recycling of episodes (I am okay with this but please give notice) and the occasional lengthy interviews. The most recent episode of Reframing Your Reality felt as though it could have been 10-15 minutes shorter. I am also not a fan of the interviewee as their conversation almost felt as though they encouraged competing on a broken ankle but I digress.

Less engaging than it used to be
This is generally a good podcast. I feel like the episodes are less engaging these days, though. They are very formulaic in format, and seem to be less insightful. I wish every episode didn’t start with the assumption that most people aren’t aware of the topic discussed and spent more time with real data, tips of how to improve, or a variety of personal stories. A lot of the insights just feel a bit too obvious to me. I wish there were more stories about people other than the researcher being interviewed. It feels a bit too academic to me at times, and it seems that even Shankar is a bit bored in his interviews. Perhaps it’s just me. Overall, I thank Hidden Brain and Shankar for being a positive influence in the world and giving me things to ponder over the years.

From the bottom of my heart. The world is a better place with you in it. I recommend this podcast to everyone, I think everyone should listen to it. It’s informative, makes you think about all sides- truly beautiful lessons and musing about acceptance and understanding.

I look forward to hearing Shankar’s voice every week
Hidden Brain has been a positive resource for me. I click on the podcast every Monday to find a new episode or to scroll through past ones I missed or overlooked. I personally enjoy learning about how to improve relationships through understanding why certain behaviors take place, With Hidden Brain, the compelling stories of guests and the comments shared by social scientists allow me to dwell upon new things intellectually and learn about myself at the same time. Shankar’s tone and interviewing is also friendly. In a stressful and chaotic world, I appreciate how this podcast showcases the fragile nature yet best of humanity. I feel like a better person by the time I get to the end of the show. Thanks Shankar and Hidden Brain producers!
