Johann Hari blew me away with the scope of his wisdom and depth of his knowledge.  I also loved the passion he brings to this show.  We covered a lot of inspired ground here.  Definitely check out his amazing book, Lost Connections.  It will illuminate you in a myriad of ways.  Johann is also a joy to dialogue with here.  What an amazing being.
