Brave People Share One Thing. It's Not What You Expect

What you know about bravery is wrong. You’ve probably told yourself you’re not brave because you feel afraid. But neuroscientists scanned the brains of some of the most courageous people alive and found something no one expected. It wasn’t fearlessness. It was something most people would never guess. This video explores what most of us misunderstand about the nature courage and how you can become a more courageous person. ___ Hidden Brain, hosted by me, Shankar Vedantam, is finally on YouTube! Like my podcast, this new video series will explore the unconscious patterns driving human behavior, our choices, and our relationships. ____ FIND HIDDEN BRAIN ONLINE Website: https://www.hiddenbrain.org/ Instagram:   / hiddenbrain   Facebook:   / hiddenbrain   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hiddenbrain....
