And hello to you and welcome to the Richard Nichols podcast, the Personal Development

podcast series that's here to help inspire, educate and motivate you to be the best you can be.

I'm psychotherapist Richard Nichols, and today's is a bonus episode.

It's an interview with Dean Burnett.

And if you're ready, we'll start the show.

Hey people, it's me again.

As previously explained, the lockdown meant a few people I know and love, who wouldn't normally be available,

were twiddling their thumbs for a couple of hours and were happy to pop onto here,

and share some wisdom and insight. And today, it's the turn of neuroscientist, stand-up comedian,

and author Dean Burnett. Dean's been in the public eye for a number of years now. He's appeared on many TV shows talking about science and psychology over the years.

He's a funny and lovely man and very clever with it.

Even though his first book, because he's got loads, was called The Idiot Brain.

And I highly recommend that book.

I genuinely do.

If you liked my book, you'll really like his as well.

He's got a similar writing style as well. He's got a similar

writing style to me. He's got a way of explaining very complicated things in really

understandable ways. I love him to bits. I recorded this one a bit more recently than the other

bonus episodes that I did in the summer. And although I think I managed to clean everything up

in post-production, it was

chucking it down with rain at Dean's ending card if it really was. It certainly doesn't spoil

anything though. So I'll let you listen to our little chat and I'll speak to you later.
