    I interviewed Edward Slingerland about the history of intoxication, the flow state and effortless action. Apologies for the sirens in the background. At least it's fitting to the theme.

    Dr Mark McLaughlin: A Surgeon's Guide to Out-Thinking Fear

    Dr Mark McLaughlin: A Surgeon's Guide to Out-Thinking Fear

    I interviewed Dr Mark McLaughlin, author of Cognitive Dominance: A Brain Surgeon's Quest to Out-Think Fear. We discussed philosophy, surgery, a day in the life of a surgeon, responsibility, wrestling, and late bloomers. It was a fascinating conversation. I'd recommend this to med students and anyone else wanting to learn to deal with fear and anxiety.
