A brain that can do so many impressive things but at the same time severely misunderstands itself. A brain that's so complex that we describe it by metaphors and mistake them for knowledge.
Ever wondered why it's so hard to change your drinking habits? In this episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', host Molly Watts takes you on a journey through the intricacies of the human brain. She breaks down the Triune Brain Model, shedding light on why it's not entirely accurate from an evolutionary standpoint but still useful for understanding how our brain functions.
Molly dives into how different parts of our brain interact, particularly the so-called 'reptilian brain', which plays a crucial role in our survival instincts and emotional responses. Through engaging discussions, she explores the cerebral cortex's role in reasoning and language, and how our fear and pleasure circuits shape our behaviors. Molly's insights aim to help you understand the cognitive and emotional pathways that influence your drinking habits.
This episode is packed with valuable information that could be a game-changer for anyone looking to rethink their relationship with alcohol. Tune in to discover how understanding your brain can lead to more mindful drinking choices.
