Today's guest is Elaine Kasket. Elaine is a psychologist and author who's recently left academia to pursue a more flexible, creative life. Her latest book, All the Ghosts in the Machine: Illusions of Immortality in the Digital Age, comes out April 25, 2019. Elaine started writing at a very young age but veered toward psychology in college when she chose a double major in psychology and journalism. After years of figuring out life playing roller hockey and doing medical transcription, Elaine decided to go back to school for graduate studies. During graduate school, her focus was on academic writing and that remained the case until recently when she began to let in her creative voice again. Jonathan and Elaine talk about the transition and what it's like now to have found that unique voice again. Her new book, published by Little Brown, is the culmination of 10 years of Elaine studying death in the digital age and the unintended consequences of our data sticking around after we are gone. Elaine was also looking for an online platform to write on to showcase some shorter form stories and that's how she found Medium and met Jonathan when she sent a story in for Redoubtable. That story, originally titled Lucky Babies, ended up being showcased as a Member Feature story on the front page of Medium.

Each week we look at a word that carries real power…a specific and impactful meaning that communicates a point with elegance. A word that’s unique, poetic, mellifluous, and impeccably exact. Along the way, we look at the story behind the word – background that’s not only interesting but useful in helping you remember it so you can deploy it at will. And, we provide a few alternatives with different shades of meaning to help choose your weapon with precision – and, sound good in the process.
