This episode I'm talking with cognitive neuroscientist, Professor Mark Williams, who's spent over 25 years researching the connection between the human brain and our behaviour.
Mark's taught thousands of students and teachers about how to have a healthy brain and many more in the wider community with his numerous media appearances.
He's had published over 70 scientific articles, along with his illuminating book, 'The Connected Species'.
Mark and I discuss what drives our brain to think as it does and how we can rewire it to overcome serious issues such as bullying and racism, along with negative behaviour stemming from gender expectations around each sex.
Mark points out that kindness, compassion and empathy shape our brains to improve individual and community wellbeing.
So, sit back and make yourselves comfortable for a fascinating discussion with Professor Mark Williams.
