The term animal spirits has also been used by scientists to describe how the notion of the vitality of the body is used[1]. Animal spirits can be seen as our interpretations of economics and the economy, our mental/psychological forces and constructs[4]. The concept of animal spirits is relevant to market psychology and behavioral economics, and it sheds light on complex issues and leaves readers with a better grasp of undercurrents and a rediscovered belief in principles of common sense and caution[3]. The Animal Spirits podcast is a show about markets, life, and investing that discusses all things financial markets, personal finance, favorite books, movies, and TV shows, parenting, the asset management business, and more[5][6].
