Annie Murphy Paul

The Extended Mind

What if thinking didn’t happen exclusively in the brain? This question is a fascinating jumping-off place for our conversation this week with acclaimed science writer, Annie Murphy Paul. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Scientific American, Time Magazine, and many other publications. She’s also the author of The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain. Discover the false dichotomy between the body and the mind, how listening to interoception (gut feelings) and time spent in nature have real impact on our thinking, and how we can extend our minds to each other to help us feel more understood.
