[BabbleTalks]

If we know we shouldn?t do something, for the sake of our health, our pockets or our reputation, why is it often so very hard to do the right thing? Neurobiologist Jack Lewis looks at what neuroscience can tell us about why humans are so prone to the innate temptations that ancient religious thinkers described as the seven deadly sins.

Dr Jack Lewis is a neurobiologist and television presenter. His TV career kicked off in 2008 as a presenter on the BBC series People Watchers, which involved roaming the streets of London conducting secretly filmed social psychology experiments on unsuspecting members of the public. He went on to make regular appearances as an expert on ITV's This Morning, and presented Discovery Science?s The Tech Show, the ITV series How to Get More Sex. He hosts the Geek Chic Weird Science podcast and his brain blog www.drjack.co.uk recently celebrated its 8th birthday.
