Leonard Mlodinow is a multi-time bestselling author and writer of one of my favourite books, A Drunkards Walk. Leonard has just released his newest book, Emotional, which is the subject of today's discussion.

Leonard was born in 1954 to parents who were both Holocaust survivors, which is relevant to say since his parent’s stories inform much of the autobiographical sections of this book, Emotional. Leonard has been a writer in Hollywood, written for Star Trek operated as a corporate executive and been a multiple times best selling author.

And all of this goes without mentioning what is the backbone of his career. Leonard Mlodinow is a world-class theoretical physicist. He is among the finest scientific writers in the world able to capture the language of the universe for general consumption. 

He was mates with Richard Feynman, he’s worked with Steven Spielberg and he was trusted with the memoirs of Stephen Hawking. Leonard’s led several lives.
