Pioneering neuroscientist, psychologist and teacher Ethan Kross has spent many years researching how to understand and control our conscious mind. In this enlightening conversation with Joss, Ethan shares how techniques such as speaking to yourself in the third person or mental time travel can help us cope with the anxiety caused by our inner voices.  The two of them also discuss the importance of updating school curriculums so children can learn how to recognise and deal with emotions.  Ethan’s book Chatter is out now. *** A massive thank you to our wonderful sponsors!
