And of course, listen to Tom's interview with me, which is also on the podcast. Enjoy!

The following is my final interview with Adam Gazzaley, but you can also find it here.

And, if you're curious about my post-mortem writing in the book, I would love to hear your comments. Feel free to ask in the comments section below. Thanks!

"You've made the leap to the stage where you've gotten a bit of a reputation as a voice of reason and a true thinker and an advocate of thought-making. You've seen how your style has been picked up by a large number of major publications and you've been praised by some of the more respected voices in the field of cognitive neuroscience. And you have now won a number of prestigious research awards and have been able to speak with a large number of audiences, some of whom don't know you at all, and a lot of whom have been able to see your work as a catalyst for change. But with that said, it is your ability to deliver a truly original and effective message that's making a strong impression. You have the skill behind it and you have the ability to inspire others to follow suit." —Tom

"I am not a philosopher or a neuroscientist. I am more of a historian of people's lives and the experiences of their lives. I am not a journalist or a philosopher. I am more known as a researcher. And I am more engaged in an ongoing process of questioning what is really going on in the world and what we haven't found. Now, I'm just taking a second and writing a book about it. I've been able to show people that you are a very honest, intelligent, thoughtful, and compassionate person. And I think it is important to make that first book as accessible and engaging as possible for people interested in being able to speak to others and understand their own struggles. I think that that is what you are doing." —Tom

"You've been writing about the power of emotion and the power of imagination, and you've become more and more a philosopher-like. You have been writing about the power of humor, and you have become more and more a neuroscientist. You have been writing about the power of the thought process. And I think it is important to make that first book as accessible and engaging as possible for people interested in being able to speak to others and understand their own struggles." —Tom
