Ronald Siecker | Beyond Psychology: How Neuroscience is Redefining Our Understanding of the Brain
Thu Dec 04 2025
In this episode I sit down with Dr. Ronald Siecker, a neurobiologist and doctor, to explore the replication crisis in psychology and the adaptability of the human brain. We discuss how modern psychology is being re-evaluated in the face of new findings, the impact of social media on young minds, and how our brains can adapt to new challenges. Our conversation delves into the potential for personal leadership through brain training and mindful practices, and the societal crossroads we face due to advancing AI technologies. A compelling dialog on human potential and the future..-------------------
