Chris MacDonald explores the science of being human in a thought-provoking lecture combining research with humor and warmth. He takes the audience on a journey through evolutionary mismatch—where our modern lives don't align with our inherited biology and psychology.
Based on six years of research and his upcoming book "Us," the lecture presents a crucial insight: human wellbeing and flourishing are fundamentally about our relationships with one another. This is not a lecture on self-optimization, but rather a scientific exploration of how we can understand ourselves and others more deeply. By gaining insight into our non-negotiable needs and the causes of the mismatch between biology and modern life, it opens new perspectives on our experiences and our ability to help ourselves and each other.
Chris MacDonald is one of Scandinavia's most sought-after speakers on human health, behavior, and wellbeing, known for weaving scientific depth with energy and communicative joy.
