My next guest is Avik Basu, an environmental psychologist at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability. Join us as we explore a theory behind how our brains recover from cognitive fatigue and why birdsongs can be helpful. Avik is the co-author of Fostering Reasonableness: Supportive Environments for Bringing Out Our Best. And his research explores the questions of why it is that our attention fatigues after overuse, and how natural environments, understanding the ancestry of our brain development and listening to birdsongs can replenish our resources for better productivity and happiness.
