BrainCandy No. 70: Ending the world? How neuropsychology helps us become more resilient

Recently, I was able to listen to a powerful lecture by Prof. Dr. Maren Urner on 3Sat a German TV station. She researches media psychology at the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne. Prof. Urner explains in a comprehensible way why we all have a far too negative image of the world. It's all about the information overload of the media, which encounters an evolutionarily outdated processing system in the brain. But neuropsychology can help us acquire a higher level of resilience and thus more joy in life. In this BrainCandy, I have summarized what I consider to be the most important and exciting points of Prof. Urner's lecture in a short and crisp way. Have fun listening.
