Ultimately, we came up with the idea that this idea of being hardwired, that we are essentially born with a program almost like a software program, that's in your computer that dictates how you're going to survive and- and you know if not to put an academic too much of an academic spin on it.
Ever wondered why we do the things we do? Dr. Robert Barrett has spent years diving deep into human behavior, group dynamics, and organizational culture to find out. In this episode of 'Ruthless Compassion with Dr. Marcia Sirota', Dr. Barrett shares his fascinating journey—from interviewing death squad leaders in Nigeria to helping build Canada’s first Patient Safety Officer program. His work even extends to figuring out how astronauts can get along on future Mars missions! Dr.
Barrett's latest book, 'HARDWIRED: How Our Instincts to Be Healthy are Making Us Sick', serves as a backdrop for the conversation. He and Dr. Sirota discuss how our evolutionary 'hardwiring' can sometimes clash with modern life, affecting everything from mental health to team performance.

And in these COVID-19 times, Dr. Sirota emphasizes the importance of staying connected with loved ones, even if it’s just a virtual hug.
