The Surprising Factor That Draws Women to Men!

Описание: Welcome to an insightful discussion drawing upon the wisdom of world-renowned evolutionary psychologist Dr. Bill Von Hippel, In this video/podcast, we delve deeper into the fascinating world of human behaviour, happiness, and the evolutionary forces that still shape our lives today.
Dr. Von Hippel, who has spent decades studying why humans do what they do, offers a compelling perspective on what we might be getting wrong as a species in the modern world. We explore the delicate balance between autonomy and connection, and how our increasing tendency towards individualism, particularly in Western, wealthy, urbanised, and well-educated societies, might be negatively impacting our happiness.
Discover the surprising data on declining rates of social connection, with more people living alone and less interaction with neighbours compared to the past. We examine the paradox of increased wealth not necessarily leading to increased happiness, and the lessons we can learn from hunter-gatherer societies like the Hadza, who report significantly higher levels of happiness despite facing immense challenges.
