On this week’s podcast, our resident neuroscientist Dr. Claudia Aguirre is back to talk about something else that we sometimes put off or find excuses not to do.

Being more charitable and altruistic is something we often resolve to do, but sometimes don’t quite get round to, so Dr Claudia is here with me to talk about why that is, if being charitable makes us happy, if we can ever really be genuinely selfless in this.
