Amy Alkon's Humanlab: The Science Between Us

Welcome to HumanLab: The Science Between Us, with Amy Alkon interviewing the luminaries of behavioral science.On this show, social psychologist Dr. Barry Schwartz lays out why our emotions, trained and modulated, are the key to developing wisdom and behaving wisely.And, contrary to conventional "wisdom" that emotions should be kept out of business or professional decisions, Schwartz lays out why that's not the case and why "practical wisdom" is key to both personal and relationship happiness.His compelling book (complete with some moving stories) is "Practical Wisdom: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing." His co-author is poly-sci prof Dr. Kenneth Sharpe. Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-7:30 p.m. Pacific Time, 10-10:30 p.m. Eastern Time, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.Please support this show -- and get some highly practical science-based advice -- by buying my "science-help" book, "Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence."
