A short single-speaker YouTube talk (Dr. Arthur Brooks) arguing that love is an intentional act—a commitment and choice originating in the prefrontal cortex—and the best antidote to fear and a hateful world. The speaker contrasts fear (amygdala-driven) with love (prefrontal-cortex-driven), urges listeners to "choose love" when afraid, and warns that social media and envy do not produce authentic love; instead, look outward and choose to love others to attract genuine love.
