In this episode, I talk to Annie about the research and concepts in her new book The Extended Mind.

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 contributes to the New York Times Magazine and the New York Times Book Review, Slate, and O, The Oprah Magazine, among many other publications. Annie writes about how the findings of cognitive science and psychology could help us to think and act more intelligently. Today it’s great to have Annie Murphy Paul on the podcast.
