Dr. Carl Marci is a leader in the fields of social and consumer neuroscience and serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Cava Capital. Formerly the Chief Neuroscientist at the Nielsen Company, he’s also on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and is a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital. He and I recently sat down to talk about his new book, Rewired: Protecting Your Brain in the Digital Age.
What got Carl interested in psychology and neuroscience? What’s the overlap between getting likes on social media and psychoactive drugs like cocaine? How do Carl’s former marketing and tech clients feel about this book? Listen in to hear the answers to these questions and learn what Carl thinks we can do to rewire our brains (and protect our children).
