Your Brain on Politics (Video)

Rick Shenkman is the publisher of the History News Network. You can follow him on Twitter. 

In this video, taped at Seattle Town Hall on January 28, 2016, I reveal what we need to know about the brain to protect ourselves from manipulative politicians.

The talk is based on my new book, POLITICAL ANIMALS: How Our Stone-Age Brain Gets in the Way of Smart Politics (Basic Books, 2016).
