#183 Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman - All scientists do magic
from Volver al Futuro Hosted by Victor Saadia
In this episode we discuss the necessity for scientists to embrace the realm of magic in understanding the complexities of the human mind. Drawing on ancient wisdom and modern science, Dr Lieberman unravels how storytelling, fairy tales, and the unconscious mind offer profound insights into human behavior and cognition. We think through stories, and so, without stories, interdependent life would not be even possible. Our human biology demands stories to keep surviving and evolving. With thought-provoking insights and anecdotes, Lieberman advocates for a holistic approach to understanding the human psyche, urging paradigm shifters to embrace the magic within and beyond scientific inquiry. Dr. Daniel Lieberman is a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and is the coauthor of the international bestseller The Molecule of More. His second book, Spellbound: Modern Science, Ancient Magic, and the Unconscious Mind explores the intersection of neuroscience and mysticism as it relates to our experience of our unconscious.
