Mayim and Jonathan explore with Kaufman the shocking link between trauma, creativity, and intelligence. Discover how labels like "learning disability" can be shattered to overcome anxiety and depression, how we all might be neurodiverse, and how cognitive distortions can influence your personality and create a victim mindset. Get ready for his game-changing take on reincarnation, creative genius, and the science of narcissism.
