Скачать или смотреть Why does sad music make you feel... good? (The Paradox of Tragedy).

Why do we voluntarily listen to music that makes us cry? Is it emotional masochism, or something deeper? 🧠 It turns out, that feeling of relief you get from a sad song isn't weakness—it's a sophisticated biological hack involving a hidden hormone: Prolactin.
In this psychological documentary, we dive deep into the "Paradox of Tragedy." We explore how our prehistoric ancestors used sound for survival, why your brain struggles to distinguish between "art" and "real danger," and how you can use sad music as a form of emotional hygiene.

Stop feeling guilty about your sad playlist. It’s not depression; it’s biology.
