391: Part 3 - Dr. Lisle's New Book: Sherlock Holmes and the Secret of Life Interview Part 2 of 3

Dr. Doug Lisle wraps up the three-part series on Sherlock Holmes and the Secret of Life by explaining why almost no one has ever filmed a real, unscripted therapy session, why he chose to tell this book as a dialogue between Holmes and Dilbert Peabody rather than a standard chapter-by-chapter self-help format, and why he's now ready to go back to live demonstrations now that the underlying theory is finally written down. He traces his own intellectual lineage from Darwin to Richard Dawkins to Leda Cosmides and John Tooby, explains why he considers evolutionary psychology the most significant revolution in the history of thought, and talks through who this book is really written for. Nathan closes out the series with ordering details for the book.
