Narrowing the Gap Between the Body and the Mind | Neuroscientist, Dr. Antonio Damasio

Narrowing the Gap Between the Body and the Mind | Neuroscientist, Dr. Antonio Damasio

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Antonio Damasio, a Dornsife Professor of Neuroscience, Psychology and Philosophy, and Director of the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Trained as both neurologist and neuroscientist, Antonio has made seminal contributions to the understanding of brain processes underlying affect and consciousness.

His work on the role of emotions and feelings in decision-making has made a major impact in neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy.

Antonio is considered one of the most eminent psychologists of the modern era - you may be familiar him with from his previous appearance on Finding Mastery - episode 168.

Antonio is brilliant... When I speak with him, I find myself on the edge of my seat - my mind expanded and my heart thumbing with excitement for what he’s about to share.

I wanted to have Antonio back on to discuss his recent work, which addresses the evolutionary development of mind – the intersection between feelings, consciousness, the mind and the nervous system – and how a deeper understanding can lead to a robustness of flourishing.

His newest book: Feeling and Knowing: Making Minds Conscious is fantastic!
