How Power Literally Rewires Your Brain (And Changes Your Personality)

from Call It Like I See It Hosted by James Keys, Tunde Ogunlana

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana take a look at some recent research that investigates how having power really can change a person down to a hormonal and brain chemistry level, and consider whether this refutes or explains the old idiom that power tends to corrupt and absolute power absolutely corrupts. The guys also discuss how certain personality traits and power tend to come together and how accountability, or the lack thereof, plays a role in how power is exercised. Experts are finally learning what power does to the brain – and it's not what anyone expected (BBC Science Focus) (Apple News Link)
