This Is Your Brain explores the science of being human. Hosted by world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Phil Stieg, the podcast blends neuroscience, expert perspectives, storytelling, and fearless conversation to reveal how the brain drives everything from love and desire to law, justice, leadership, performance, and the choices that shape our health and behavior.
Now in its seventh season, each bi-weekly episode asks new questions, and finds new answers, about our most fascinating organ. Together with his expert guests, Dr. Stieg takes us on a journey that redefines what we know about ourselves and our place in the world.
In Season 7, the podcast continues to explore the many fascinating dimensions of the human mind, ranging from the language patterns that can reveal the workings of a criminal mind, to the dopamine-driven reward systems quietly shaping our daily habits. What if everything we think we know about emotions is wrong? What really drives human progress, wealth, technology, or something happening inside the mind itself? How did the brain’s 200,000-year-old reward system end up on a collision course with modern life?
Take the journey with us as we explore the very foundation of what makes us human.
