Jonathan Mooney blends anecdote, expertise, and memoir to present a
new mode of thinking about how we live and learn - individually,
uniquely, and with advantages and upshots to every type of brain
and body. As a neuro-diverse kid diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD
who didn't learn to read until he was twelve, the realisation that
that he wasn't the problem - the system and the concept of normal
were - saved Mooney's life and fundamentally changed his outlook.
Here he explores the toll that being not normal takes on kids and
adults when they're trapped in environments that label them, shame
them, and tell them, even in subtle ways, that they are the
problem. But, he argues, if we can reorient the ways in which we
think about diversity, abilities, and disabilities, we can start a
revolution. A highly sought after public speaker, Mooney has been
inspiring audiences with his story and his message for nearly two
decades. Now he's ready to share what he's learned from parents,
educators, researchers, and kids in a book that is as much a
survival guide as it is a call to action. Whip-smart, insightful,
and utterly inspiring - and movingly framed as a letter to his own
young sons, as they work to find their ways in the world - this
book will upend what we call normal and empower us all.
From the host of award-winning podcast On the Edge with Andrew Gold comes The Psychology of Secrets, a bizarre, surprising and thrilling deep dive into the psychology of secrecy.
We all keep secrets. 97 per cent of us are hiding a secret right now, and on average we each hold thirteen at any one time. There’s a one-in-two chance that those secrets involve a breach of trust, a lie or a financial impropriety. They are the stuff of gossip, of novels and of classic dramas; secrets form a major part of our hidden inner lives.
Podcaster Andrew Gold knows this better than anyone. A public persona, he found himself the (unwitting) recipient of hundreds of strangers' most private revelations. This set him on a journey to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by those of others? What happens to our mind when we confess?
Drawing from psychology, history, social science, philosophy and personal interviews, The Psychology of Secrets is a rollicking journey through the history of secrecy, bringing us in touch with cult leaders, murderers, psychopaths – and even you.
