Today, it's great to have Annie Murphy-Paul in the podcast.

Annie writes about how the findings of cognitive science and psychology can help us to think

and act more intelligently.

Annie contributes to the New York Times magazine, the New York Times book review, SLETE,

and O, the Oprah Magazine, among many other publications.

She's also the author of a number of books, including the Cult of Personality Origins,

and most recently, the extended mind, the power of thinking outside the brain.

Annie, thanks for coming on the psychology podcast again after being our very first guest

ever.

Thank you so much, Scott.

I'm so happy to be back.

You know, seven years later.

Seven years.

Wow.

And look at all the people you've talked to in those seven years.

It's amazing.

I was going to say, look how many books you've done since then.

I have not been as prolific as you, that is sure.

That is for sure.

Oh, come on now.

I love your work, as you know, and I'm a big fan, and this latest book is no exception.

You know, in this new book, you invite the reader to, quote, think outside the brain.
