The Psychology of Christmas
About this episode
This week the team is taking a much deserved break for the holidays, but we are re-posting this 2021 episode where Anya and Alex discuss the psychological significance and historical origins of Christmas, as well as other similar celebrations around the world.
They also discuss: nostalgia, social cohesion, why you shouldn't try and change your relatives minds over Turkey, loneliness, New Years resolutions and much more.
From the Thinking Mind team Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
With Dr. Anya Borissova and Dr. Alex Curmi
