Why Your Brain Creates Trauma | Lisa Feldman Barrett:



Description:

This interview is an episode from @The-Well, our publication about ideas that inspire a life well-lived, created with the @JohnTempletonFoundation.

Aided by best-selling psychology books of the last decade, such as Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score, discussions about trauma and how to deal with it have entered popular public discourse.

From police departments to school classrooms, trauma-informed approaches have taken center stage.

But leading neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett challenges the popular notion that trauma resides solely in the body.

She asserts that trauma is rooted in the brain’s predictions and the construction of our experiences.

When an adverse experience becomes traumatic, the brain heavily weighs and anticipates that experience in its future predictions.

This ongoing prediction and re-experiencing of the traumatic event strengthens the neural connections associated with it, making the predictions more likely to occur in the future.

Rather than focusing on the body as the site of healing, she suggests that changing the brain’s models of prediction is what needs to be addressed to break free from the cycle of trauma.

By understanding the role of predictions and the brain’s plasticity, Feldman Barrett offers hope for transforming traumatic experiences and finding new, lasting paths to healing.

300: Rise Of An Empire — The Successor That Cancelled A Series | Anatomy Of A Failure:



Description:

300: Rise of an Empire is a 2014 successor to Zack Snyder's legendary 2006 testosterone movie 300, about the stand made against the Persian army by Leonidas and his Spartans.

This time, the focus is on the sea, where the Athens navy faces off with the mighty Persian fleet.

And the movie didn't turn out too well, because it flopped pretty badly at the box office compared to the predecessor, and thus got the whole series of 300 movies cancelled.

Bye bye 300: American Revolutionary War.

And the biggest issue about Rise of an Empire could be that it fails to follow the rules of the series established by the first movie.

So today, let's investigate the importance of rules in a series, and how Rise of an Empire fails to live up to 300 and got the whole franchise cancelled.
