Today, we have the privilege of hosting Smithsonian Associate Dr. Joseph LeDoux, a distinguished neuroscientist and the Director of the Emotional Brain Institute at New York University. Joseph is not just a leading expert in neural science but also an insightful author whose latest work, “The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human,” challenges long-held views about the mind and body. Smithsonian Associate Dr. Joseph LeDoux will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up soon, and please check out our show notes today for more details.

But we have Smithsonian Associate Dr. Joseph LeDoux today and in this episode, Joseph will unravel how modern science debunks the traditional mind-body dualism and introduces us to his groundbreaking framework that describes human existence through four interlinked realms—biological, neurobiological, cognitive, and conscious. Each of these realms offers a unique perspective on what it means to be human, encompassing everything from our evolutionary past to our current emotional and cognitive experiences.
Expect a deep dive into how these realms influence everything from our everyday decisions to our broader understanding of the self. Joseph’s insights are not just academically intriguing; they hold practical implications for improving mental health, enhancing decision-making, and fostering a better understanding of one another.
