Take Back Your Brain (Kara Loewentheil)
b"\\u201cThere are studies showing that, once your basic needs are met, and you're not worried about losing your house, losing your health care, increases in money don't significantly increase happiness, right? So I think, you know, money helps alleviate the very real biological primitive fear of you're gonna die if you don't have shelter and food and in our society, healthcare, but when it comes to things beyond that, I think that we have been sold the lie that money creates security and it's a natural conflation because at a certain point for securing the necessities,and it makes other problems easier to solve also clearly, but emotionally, money is not the solution to an emotional problem any more than food or having a certain kind of body or being married or not married.\\u201d\\xa0\\nSo says Kara Loewentheil, author of Take Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head\\u2014and How to Get it Out. While Kara and I went to college together, I first met her when she was gracious enough to have me on her hugely successful podcast, UnF*ck Your Brain, where I obviously fell in love with\\u2026her brain. Kara is theoretically an unlikely life coach\\u2014she graduated from Harvard Law School, litigated reproductive rights, and ran a think tank at Columbia University before deciding that she wanted to go upstream and rewire our culture\\u2019s brain instead.\\xa0\\nKara is fixated on what she calls the \\u201cBrain Gap\\u201d in women\\u2014the thought patterns so natural to women that keep us feeling anxious and disempowered. It\\u2019s in that \\u201cBrain Gap\\u201d that we continue to both unconsciously support and re-enact a culture that doesn\\u2019t do great things for women. My work and Kara\\u2019s work are very aligned. In fact, Take Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head\\u2014and How to Get it Out is a cousin to On Our Best Behavior\\u2014one that\\u2019s written with actionable insights, by a life coach, for getting to the root of the problem.\\n\\nMORE FROM KARA LOEWENTHEIL:\\nTake Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head\\u2014and How to Get it Out\\nKara\\u2019s Website: The New School of Feminist Thought\\nKara\\u2019s Book Website\\nKara\\u2019s Podcast: UnF*ck Your Brain\\nFollow Kara on Instagram\\n \\nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\\n \\n Learn more about your ad choices.
