Your Brain Still Thinks You're Being Hunted (Here's Why)

Something inside you is scanning for danger right now. It has been scanning for 500 million years, and it has never once stopped. But the thing it's looking for hasn't existed for thousands of years. In this video, you'll discover why your brain reacts to a tense email the same way your ancestors reacted to a lion in the grass. You'll learn why your fear response is more afraid of spiders than guns, why standing in front of a crowd feels like physical danger, and why social rejection activates the same brain regions as a broken bone. Drawing on research from psychologists and neuroscientists who study the ancient roots of modern anxiety, this video reframes everything you thought you knew about why you feel the way you do.
