Pretty good
I preferred less frequent longer podcasts typical of the radio show.
Favorite Podcast Ever
This is so amazing to listen to in the morning instead of scrolling on my phone. Very informative and thought provoking. i feel like listening has caused me to reflect more and become more aware and had helped with my personal life and relationships with people:)
Big Feelings
Hidden Brain is in my toolbox for coping with emotional stress.
Peer pressure and our response to it.
Great show and sub. I would like to add a theme to the thread of this episode. I think we may have excluded a group of people who don’t feel the pressure to comply or just go along. I can only speak for myself but I have always responded very negatively to any pressure to comply in both insignificant and very significant situations. I believe there are many people like that. Great show, thank you!
Remarkable insight in our own behavior
Some of the episode I have sent to my children, they act counseling sessions
Brilliant
Every episode teaches something new. A must listen!
My favorite podcast
Every topic discussed in this podcast is utterly fascinating. I listen to this podcast while I’m working and driving. Shankar is a great host. I love love the way he navigates each episode.
Just no, no AI
I love it 😻 it's my favorite podcast, I can never sleep without playing it, I really recommend it ★★★★★
All episodes
Love this content. Every show brings me knowledge that informs how I can improve myself and better understand others.
One of the best pods out there
For anyone interested in better understanding humans. Good for work, personal relationships, yourself, society as whole, doesn’t matter. I have gained tons of insight and information that I have put to use in my own life. I’ve listened to many pods over the years but this is one I consistently return to. The episodes are thoughtfully put together and always give the listener so much to think about. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone curious about why we do the things we do.
Pro Life
Hi Shankar! While I am a Christian, and draw different conclusions from much of your podcasts than you are probably expecting me to, I love your podcast and have been listening since 2019! Your dedication, time, energy, and heart shine through and it keeps me coming back!! I would love to challenge you to interview a pro lifer (preferably Christian). Abortion is the greatest human rights issue facing us today and I would love for more people to hear it from a pro life perspective. Thanks for your consideration!! Over 1 million human beings are murdered in America alone each year before they are given a right to life. It is devastating and many many MANY people feel this way. I would love for our perspectives to be heard. Thanks again :)
Love this podcast
This is a favorite podcast of mine. I check it out every week for new insights and ideas. Sometimes it starts out basic but always ends with something new. Thanks Shankar and your team for a wonderful weekly treat!
Stop. Think. Enjoy.
Thought provoking. Question what you know. Enjoy. The chosen guests and conversations are food for growth. Keep up the good work, Team!
Highly recommend
Shankar takes the listener on a deeply introspective journey, expertly navigating our thought and behavior patterns. Topics are broad but the focus is on self improvement in a gentle and enlightening way. It is really beautifully done and feels kind. This podcast has improved my life.
Conversation coaches
THANK YOU! I love all the shows but this one on our need to improve conversation and communication skills really hits home as I’m a facilitator and science communicator. I’ve thought how the US culture needs communication skills to be taught in K-12 education. At each grade level. Our developmental skills improve as we age, therefore so should our understanding of how to communicate well. Again, thank you!
Hidden Brain is the best!!!
I love this podcast, I listen to it every day
Best Book Recommending Podcast’s
I read all the books recommended here and man; I’m living my best life! Thank you Shankar for sharing your wisdom. YOU ARE MY 🐐
So thought-provoking
This is the best podcast anywhere, truly exceptional. Shankar is a master interviewer, noone touches him.
I learn something every time
Every time I listen to this podcast, I learn something about myself, other people and the world around me. I also feel more enlightened. It’s so fascinating and well done. Been listening to about 5 years now! Huge fan!
Fascinating!
I’ve listened since the first episode. It is so interesting to learn things are brain does without us being aware of it, like confirmation bias.
One of the top shows
One of the top podcasts out there, it offers a wealth of thought-provoking ideas and inspiration. Over the past few years, I’ve gained so much from it
Serious, Calm, and Enjoyable
With a mixture of social science, storytelling, and first-person accounts, Hidden Brain disseminates a balanced outlook on life.
Wellness 2.0: The Art of the Unknown
It is based on how things are designed to be. My conclusion to understanding results of albeit things both good and bad, strange and downright unpredictable, involves what is included in a design. There’s no way to know exactly WHAT is in a design. You can’t predict or alter what is designed. Lastly, all you know is what IS designed to be, WILL certainly be. Nothing can or will stop it, it may only change its course, but in end it will always BE, by design. - s.jxn - ga
