Welcome to my blog. I’ll do my best to update it regularly (or semi-regularly, at the least…) with news, writing updates, and other assorted thoughts. Read, enjoy, and please share your thoughts and comments. If you’re looking for psychology pieces at the New Yorker, you can find them here. If you’re looking for my old blog about literature and psychology, Literally Psyched, you can find it here.

US Publication Day is here!

January 3, 2013

Today is the official US Publication Day for MASTERMIND! Cue the excitement.

To mark the date, a few things: first, a look back at my first ever Holmes piece for Scientific American. Then, an excerpt from the book over at Reuters. And finally, a new essay on the journey that led to MASTERMIND for Slate. Happy reading!

And I would love to hear your thoughts on the book. Like it? Hate it? Please share a review on Amazon. I would greatly appreciate it.

    I had been practicing what I termed “internal emotional adjustments” for many years. Then about six years ago I deviated and began to notice a spiral into an emotionally unbalanced state not previuosly experienced. I began to crave “quiet”, “stillness”. Not so suddenly, I realized what I was craving so deeply was a return to my “internal emotional adjustments”. All I do during those periods is to withdraw within my mind, still all thought, and allow all negative impulses to quiet dow. I look forward to your book. It will help with my adjustments.

    This is a great, great read — fascinating and inspiring. I have read the Sherlock Holmes stories since I was very little, and I always wished I could develop a Holmesian intellect. This book gave me a clear road-map for how to do that.

    Thank you for your wonderful insights, and I look forward to reading any future work you have!
