We can't overestimate the degree to which we need other people. I mean, I think if you, I wouldn't call it, well, if you want to call it a trait, but it's a trait of the humankind. And we have a brain, as you know, that is able to do all the things we need to be in a more complex network, such as a culture or a bigger group.
Imagine feeling an emotion, but it’s not just yours—it's shaped by the culture you live in. In this episode of the I Am Driven Podcast, Dr. Douglas Brackmann sits down with Batja Mesquita, a social and cultural psychologist and author of 'Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions'. Batja dives into the fascinating ways different cultures influence our emotional lives.
From daily interactions to our deepest sense of self, culture plays a pivotal role in shaping how we feel and express those feelings. This conversation challenges the idea that emotions are universal and highlights the diverse ways people experience them around the world. Batja's insights urge us to appreciate the rich tapestry of cultural differences and how they impact our emotional well-being. Through their engaging dialogue, Dr.
Brackmann and Batja explore how understanding these cultural nuances can foster empathy and help us navigate an increasingly diverse world. Whether you're curious about cultural psychology or looking to deepen your understanding of emotional diversity, this episode offers a treasure trove of valuable perspectives.
