FableOne day, while taking a walk through the woods, a man found a new born eaglet. He quickly realized that left there alone the eaglet would surely die: so he took him home and put it in an aviary along with other chicken newborns.The eaglet grew up together with the chicken and of course, he learned to behave as one: digging the soil to find worms and insects, eating the seeds thrown by the

Unhappy? Lonely? Looking for love? Fat? Broke?The 20.000 plus self help titles from the shelves of the bookstores didn’t changed much since people are still suicidal, unfulfilled and overweight. Maybe self help literature is not food for mind but drugs for the mind, meant to make your mind drunk with inspiring yet unrealistic ideas.Pop psychology can be described as an utopian enterprise inspired

Are you in love with a narcissist?I am sure you think as overrated the cliche that 'love is blind' - but neuroscience, this prodigy child of science, unveils with an almost cruel satisfaction that some areas of our brains shut down when love comes upon us, blinding the ration from the smart choices we should make.Brain scans of the people who were madly in love are very similar to the scans of

Let the movies be your therapistsMovie therapy is a breakthrough therapy approach that uses movies as a primary tool to help people to get insight while working with a counselor. While it is one of the newest branches of psychotherapy and still reluctantly seen by some therapist, movie therapy has been proved to help clients get self awareness and identify their problems easier.Cinema therapy

Have you ever stopped so far to ask yourself what's the meaning of your life, what's the meaning of certain events or what's the meaning of existence in the bigger cosmic scheme?If not, get ready then. It's coming - it is a step in the human existence which every individual has to take. Maybe you didn't address it consciously yet, but the search for meaning is an intrinsic quest that will raise

Since the first day the world welcomed us into it's entanglements we become consumers. At first this process is unconscious, embedded in our genes. The brain is a sponge that is greedy for any kind of sensorial stimulation.Later, education will filter all the information that sees the light of our consciousness and then, some time in the youth we can claim our independence from the hidden forces

V.S. Ramachandran is a big name in neuroscience. He is probably most famous for his research in the realm of phantom limbs - people who can still have sensations in the limbs that were amputated. His research uncovered some big mysteries of the brain functioning and brought relief to those in pain.His experiments were absolutely fascinating and I will mention few here since they have some

Good news. Your brain is not unchangeable. You can play with it, even grow new cells, create new circuits, remap attitudes. Suddenly, the new- ageish motto that you can be whatever you want to be, holds new scientifically meanings.Your brain and it's interaction with environment creates your every day reality. I am not going into metaphysical arguments as to what consciousness is, I am not

Do women love too much?I am sure you have heard this title or formula either from the media, either from your girlfriends, complaining that they are the ones who sacrifice in a relationship.But is it truly possible to love too much?Firstly, we would have to agree on a definition of love so we can see who are the heroes who overdose on this behavior. And that is pretty much an impossible mission,

I've been there too, I have been searching for "the one". I used to believe that there is a perfect match out there, "my better half" as people use to call it , that will give me that feeling of completeness, fulfillment and total communion.Then life taught me that there will be more than one person who, at different times, may represent "the one". And then I gave up on the rigid idea that

Have you ever felt that the space around you can influence your thoughts and moods? Do you feel more creative in high ceilings rooms and more focused in low ceiling rooms? Do you prefer higher level rooms to the underground ones (I do)? There is an explanation for that, the magic comes from smart design combined with psychology insight.Recently, architecture and design started to pay attention

I want to talk about loneliness, since I think that the incapacity of dealing with loneliness drives most of our emotional life.To feel lonely is a dramatic feeling and the need to escape it pushes people to look for company of unworthy people otherwise.Have you found yourself being surrounded by people who otherwise wouldn't be of any particular interest to you?It's like when you travel abroad,

I start this blog with the wish of telling things not in the scientifically and somehow limiting frame of the science, but as a human being who wanted to understand what's all about and did it both ways: by experimenting it and by studying it. My conclusions will meet your eyes in the pages of this blog, hope they will be both inspiring and revealing.
