U, it's a really good one.

So I have the opportunity to speak with Dr. Brian Lowry.

He's a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.

And other than his academic publications, he's also been featured in outlets that you know and love like the Washington Post, Psychology

Today, Quartz, Pacific Standard, even NPR's all things considered and he hosts the

podcast Know What You See.

He has a brand new book. It's called Selfless, The Social Creation of You.

So without any further ado, here he is Dr. Brian Lowry.

Well Brian, thank you so much for joining me today.

I'm so excited to talk about your new book,

Selfless, The social creation of you.

And more than that, just to talk about social psychology,

to talk about being a human being in a social milieu.

Thank you for being here.
