It was a fantastic interview, Adam! And I loved your book, ANATOMY OF A BREAKTHROUGH.
Excited to see this interview with @HiddenBrain go live. Shankar and I talked George R R Martin, why being stuck feels so lonely, and the paralysis that comes from seeking radical originality in creative pursuits. Cc @anniemurphypaul

It was my great pleasure to work on this episode of Hidden Brain with Daniel Willingham—a brilliant cognitive scientist and a wonderful human being. Give it a listen—Dan is so funny and insightful on the topic of memory.
