Why have politics become so hostile and social media sites so full of conspiracy theories? Why are we so prone to anxiety? Much of our discontent stems from our evolutionary heritage: we are creatures with strong hunter-gatherer emotions trying to make do in mass industrial society. Join Judge Bruce Peterson to discuss our competing instincts for cooperation and hostility and learn tools to help us be mindfully aware of the emotional tensions going on in and around us.
