00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:10.960
Hello everyone, Evan Nesterak here.
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.039
And I'm Stephanie Tam.
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:19.199
Welcome to Behavioral Scientist Reads.
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:33.840
The podcast that explores what it means to be human through conversations at the intersection of science and culture, and books that illuminate who we are and who we can become.
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:50.320
In a world that's getting increasingly noisy and distracting, this is a chance to hit pause, read great literature, and draw out insights about our humanity.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:01:04.319
This summer, we'll be reading Olga Tokarczuk's Flights, a novel that defies categorization, part memoir, part short story collection, part ethnography of travel.
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:12.159
We'll be speaking with leading experts across the sciences and arts, geography, medicine, and translation.
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:21.120
Together, we'll dive deeper and ask big questions, like, what's behind the human impulse towards movement?
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.920
What do our movements and memories amount to?
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:31.760
Do they form a meaningful whole, or are they simply fragments, the fruits of entropy and fate rather than free will.
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:50.159
Join us on our journey as we probe literary themes and map out questions with our guest experts.
00:01:51.519 --> 00:02:00.959
We won't always end up with answers, but we can promise you a fascinating adventure as we travel towards the very heart of human nature.
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:11.439
Episodes will drop on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and our special book club website, bookclub.behavioral scientists.org.
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:18.080
We look forward to reading together and taking flight soon.
