Excited to share what I've been working on: The Organized Mind in the Age of AI. tinyurl.com/3de38hcw This is a kind of sequel to my Best-Selling book “The Organized Mind.” Think of it as “The Organized Mind in the Age of AI,” the title suggested by my friend J.B. Milliken.
A nice thought piece by Elizabeth Margulis on the 20-year anniversary of This Is Your Brain on Music. lithub.com/how-this-is-yo…

@MbarkCherguia Two people went. The couple went for a picnic. Don’t assume anyone else went. I’m an MIT alum.
This week marks the 3-year anniversary of Catching A Ride Into Town, co-created with J.D. Buhl. Grateful to everyone who’s listened and shared it—and thanks to @DistroKid for putting it into your hands, on your phones, and in your earbuds.
Last month, I spoke at the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival. The festival has since published my conversation with David Zippel on curiosity. Watch here: bit.ly/4kPbG6K
This weeks new podcast episode is a meeting of two worlds that have shaped my life: music and medicine. Music has always meant a huge amount to me. I’ve sung and played multiple instruments since I was a boy, and some of my happiest moments have been on stage or simply lost in a song. Even if you don’t play yourself, you probably know what I mean. So I was genuinely excited to sit down with Dr @danlevitin . Dan is not only a neuroscientist, he’s also a musician and former record producer, so he understands both the art and the science of music. What struck me most in this conversation is how rarely music was ever discussed as a therapeutic tool in my medical training. We talked about drugs, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle, but rarely about music. Yet the more I’ve learned, the clearer it’s become that music may be one of the most powerful, accessible forms of healing we have. Even when people with Alzheimer’s become withdrawn or unresponsive, a few songs from their youth can sometimes help them re-engage with the world. They can speak again, move again, and reconnect with themselves in a way that words alone often can’t achieve. It made me think differently about my own guitar playing. As not just a hobby, but as something genuinely important for my wellbeing. And you can too. Sometimes feeling better isn’t complicated. It might be as simple as pressing play. Listen now to episode 623 of my 'Feel Better, Live More' podcast
