Скачать или смотреть The Neuroscience of Regret: Why Your Brain Tortures You?

Why does having more freedom sometimes lead to less happiness? In this deep-dive episode, we explore the evolutionary biology and neuroscience behind one of our most painful emotions: Regret.

Based on the insights of Dr. Cenan Hepdurgun, this AI-generated discussion breaks down the complex machinery of your brain—specifically the interaction between the Orbitofrontal Cortex and the Amygdala—to reveal why regret is not a bug, but a feature designed for your survival.

In this episode, you will learn:

🧪 The Harvard Photography Experiment: Why students who couldn't change their minds were happier than those who could.

🧠 The Brain's "Production Line": How the Orbitofrontal Cortex calculates "What If" scenarios.

⚖️ Action vs. Inaction: Why regrets about things we didn't do haunt us longer than mistakes we made.

🧭 The Toolkit: Cognitive reframing and how to use regret as a compass for growth, rather than a tool for self-torture.
