On the latest episode of In Your Head Radio, I sat down with Mike Long, co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More and sole author of the powerful sequel Taming the Molecule of More. We dove into the science and psychology of dopamine—that feel-good neurotransmitter tied to the brain's reward circuit and pleasure center. But as Mike explains, dopamine isn't just about experiencing pleasure—it's also about chasing it. There are two ways we encounter dopamine: The pleasure of the moment and the anticipation of what might happen. When it comes to decision-making, this dual nature can cloud our judgment. Are we making choices based on present satisfaction—or are we hooked on future possibilities that may never come? Mike also raised a powerful point: when we're always chasing dopamine, we risk overlooking meaning and purpose in our lives. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about how brain chemistry shapes motivation, behavior, and fulfillment.

On this episode of In Your Head with Dr. Leigh Richardson, we delve into the fascinating and often perplexing world of rare psychiatric and neurological disorders with Dr. Marc Dingman, author of Bizarre and a professor of neuroscience at Penn State University. Dr. Dingman's book explores a long list of unusual conditions that challenge our understanding of the human brain and behavior. We'll begin the show by discussing a chilling case from 1966: the story of Charles Whitman, the University of Texas at Austin student who, without warning, opened fire from the observation deck of the university's clock tower, killing 14 people and injuring 30 others. But what drove him to commit such an unimaginable act? How could a man with an otherwise upstanding character—an Eagle Scout, ex-Marine, and college student—suddenly snap and take so many lives? Was this an emotional reaction to external pressures? Was it influenced by social factors or his internal psychological state? Or perhaps, was something happening in Whitman's brain that we couldn't see? Dr. Dingman explores these questions in-depth, analyzing how psychiatric disorders and bizarre neurological occurrences can dramatically affect behavior and decision-making. Throughout this episode, we'll discuss the role of brain health in shaping our decisions, what happens when the brain deviates from what we consider "normal," and how understanding rare conditions can deepen our appreciation for the complexities of the human mind. As Dr. Dingman says, there's no such thing as a “normal” brain—each one is unique, and the differences between them can shape how we think, act, and interact with the world.

Join me for an engaging discussion with Dr. Daniel Lieberman, author of Molecule of More, as we explore the fascinating world of dopamine and its profound influence on our lives. Dopamine isn't just about reward; it's a powerful driver of motivation, helping us set goals, prioritize, and make key decisions. It's what keeps us moving forward, shaping how we plan and stay within social boundaries. In our conversation, Dr. Lieberman delves into how dopamine impacts our values and priorities—sometimes blurring our sense of what's truly important as we chase the next big “reward.” As we emerge from the challenges of the pandemic, technology, and virtual care are opening new doors for mental health support. Dr. Lieberman left academia to become part of this shift, working to provide accessible resources for those struggling with depression and anxiety. Tune in to hear how dopamine drives us, how values can become murky in the pursuit of “what's next,” and how virtual care is helping people reconnect with meaning, support, and health on their terms.

This episode of In Your Head , Dr Leigh Richardson had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jon Lieff, a true pioneer in psychiatry and geriatric mental health, about the intricate relationship between the brain and the mind. They delved into fascinating questions: Does the brain create the mind? Does the mind exist beyond our neural networks, extending into nature itself? Dr. Lieff highlighted the interplay between our wired brain—where neurons and dendrites connect and communicate—and our wireless brain, which enables cellular interaction on a dynamic, almost magical level. When our cells engage in active communication, we experience neuroplasticity at its best—a joyful, meaningful mental state that influences our well-being. His book for general scientific readers, The Secret Language of Cells, has been a best seller in cell biology and describes the detailed communication in cells throughout the body, the brain, microbes, and organelles. It shows how this ubiquitous signaling among all cells is not just the basis of brain functions, but the basis of brain body communication, immunity, and in fact all of biology. Dr. Lieff, a Yale and Harvard-trained physician, has made groundbreaking contributions to geriatric psychiatry, creating integrated treatment models and pioneering complementary medicine programs for complex patients. His work has not only improved the lives of countless patients but also advanced our understanding of the brain and mind connection.If you're curious about how our brain influences our perception of reality and the mind's role in our daily experiences, don't miss this episode.

Dr Leigh Richardson speaks with Ludmila N. Praslova, Ph.D. who was named a member of Thinkers50 Radar, a global group of 30 management thinkers whose ideas are most likely to shape the future of work. She is the author of The Canary Code. Exclusion robs people of opportunities, and it robs organizations of talent. In the long run, exclusionary systems are lose-lose. How do we build win-win organizational systems? Healthy systems that support talent most impacted by organizational ills—canaries in the coal mine—support everyone. Currently, despite their skills and work ethics, members of ADHD, autism, Tourette Syndrome, learning differences, and related communities face drastic barriers to hiring and advancement. In the U.S., 30-40% of neurodivergent people and 85% of autistic college graduates struggle with unemployment. Like canaries in the mine, they are impacted by issues that ultimately harm everyone. Lack of flexibility, transparency, and psychological safety excludes neurodivergent, disabled, and multiply marginalized talent—and leaves most employees stressed and disengaged. This unique book is a guide to change-making for CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and everyone who wants to contribute to building a more inclusive world. Dr. Praslova is a Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Vanguard University of Southern California who regularly writes for Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Psychology Today, and Forbes. She is the first person to have published in Harvard Business Review from an autistic perspective. A talent strategy expert with extensive experience in global diversity and neurodiversity, she focuses her consulting on creating organizational systems for inclusion and well-being and providing neuro-inclusion training to organizations such as Amazon, Bank of America, and MIT.
