Josh's new book is real: The Genius and the Impostor.

Extraordinary minds are built from ordinary brains — Tommy interviews Josh about the book, out Aug 25th ←

This week Tommy interviews Josh about his new book, The Genius and the Impostor, which comes out August 25th.

In this episode:

  • How Josh decides when it’s time to write a book, and how he tries to fit writing into a busy schedule

  • Why this was the hardest and most important book Josh has written, and the origins of “the genius” and “the impostor” characters

  • The “special brain story” most of us still carry around, and what it costs us

  • How early failures in AI revealed how we’d misunderstood human intelligence

  • How Josh hopes this book will transform your understanding of your own brain and what you’re capable of

If you want to learn more or grab a copy, head over to GeniusAndImposter.com.

p.s. - book pre-orders have an outsized influence on a book’s reach, so if you already know you want the book, pre-ordering it now genuinely helps. So a huge thank you in advance!!
