Cold Weather and the Human Psyche

February 21, 2007
Host: Armand DiMele Guests: Roberta Maria Atti

Armand DiMele and co-host Roberta Maria Atti trace how dropping temperatures raise blood pressure, suppress serotonin, trigger overeating, and historically fueled human violence and territoriality, while also arguing that cold is the unlikely cradle of creativity, intimacy, and art.
