In this episode of Doffing the Hat, Paul Godbold talks to Dr Audrey Tang, a British Chartered Psychologist, Motivational Speaker, Author and Wellness Expert. In the conversation, Paul learns about Dr Tang's journey into the field of Psychology, the areas she specialises in and grabs the opportunity to ask her for her professional opinion on several topics.
The areas covered in this episode include the impact of DNA on the personality, particularly Denisovan and Neanderthal DNA, and could they explain some people's non-standard behaviour? Ways to minimise or eliminate stress. The impact of social media on mental health and aspects such as what provokes people to write hate and curated information that could define a person's outlook on the world.
Other topics include how social media generates Dopamine spikes similar to illegal substances, her charity work, the positive aspect of giving, meditation benefits, and more.
