You can also listen to this episode on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Kurt Gray is a social psychologist and professor who received his PhD from Harvard. I loved his book, Outraged, which is essentially about why we disagree with one another, and how we can actually do it better. We cover a lot of ground in today’s conversation. We talk about a few funny things that we got wrong about human evolution, and why they matter.

ICYMI: I’m going to host a Zoom for paid subscribers on Saturday, April 19th at 10am. It will be an Office Hours—unscripted and unstructured—to answer questions about the creative process, writing, time management, and marketing. Link to register for the Zoom is at the end of this email, behind the paywall.

We go into her process in more depth in the episode.

Wow. Being 10% more evil inspired a lot of feelings in many of you (if you missed it, it’s in my conversation with Phil Stutz on Pulling the Thread: “Activating Your Life Force”). Phil is down for a Zoom with this community about this and Universe 1 and Universe 2; I’ll come back to you with dates. In the interim, I’m going to host a Zoom for paid subscribers on Saturday, April 19th at 10am.

The title of this post is a line from James Hollis’s Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life. Hollis is referring to the fact that none of us can directly see or access our shadow—that’s what makes it our shadow—though it may be plenty obvious to other people and is likely driving much of our life.
