If you’ve ever had a dating experience where you felt you coudn’t control yourself or the eventual outcome, that was your genes compelling you to behave in a certain way.  This is a double-edged sword.  On one hand, you can be optimizing your genes surviving but on the other hand, it may be detrimental to long-term happiness. 

We have evolved to enjoy the pursuit of love & sex through dating and relationships.  In this episode we discuss how we can optimize happiness in this area by beating our genes.

As Dr. Lisle discusses the purpose of psychology, we begin with a discussion of thoughts, feelings, and behavior.    Some philosophers believe that we can think one thing and then feel something completely different but Dr. Lisle explains these seemingly conflicting thoughts & feelings explains how this relates to stress.  We discuss different models of psychology and some of the limits of learning theory.  For example,  do we learn our emotions during childhood?    

Dr. Lisle discusses an example of a common “beat your genes” trap for women nowadays of staying with a man who’s not right for her.   

We continue on this topic for the remainder of the show and Dr. Lisle begins the explanation about differing mating strategies.
