Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. Today is Monday, October 7th, 2019 and I'm the host of the show Kara Santa Maria. This week we're going to be talking with Dr. Daniel Lieberman. But before we dive into

Okay, let's talk about this week's show.

So he is, let's see, I want to get this right,

a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University and also

the vice chair for clinical affairs.

He's also a distinguished fellow of the American psychiatric Association. He's won numerous awards, and now he splits his time between teaching, writing, and patient care.

He has a new book out. It is called The Molecule of More, how a single chemical in your brain drives

love, sex, and creativity and will determine the fate of the human race.

So without any further ado, here he is Dr. Daniel Z Lieberman.

Well Dan, thank you so much for joining me.

My pleasure.

All right, so we are going to be talking today about your newest book, The Molecule of More,
