The Ideological Brain has been chosen by the Financial Times and New Scientist as one of the best summer books of 2025 ☀️

Thank you to all the readers and listeners who have enjoyed it this spring 🌸 and summer 🌻 and now onto the fall 🍁!

Cool that the @nytimes.com thinks The Ideological Brain would be a great Father’s Day gift “for the dad who’s a politics buff” 😎🎁

On BBC’s Radio 4 Today programme talking about my book THE IDEOLOGICAL BRAIN with Nick Robinson and Julia Ebner about how we - as individuals - can cultivate resilience to extreme ideologies 🧠

Had such a wonderful time talking with @jburnmurdoch.ft.com at the @hayfestival.bsky.social this weekend about The Ideological Brain! 📘

So grateful to the incredible audience and the @financialtimes.com for supporting the event!

🔵⚪️🔴⚫️ It’s publication day for the German translation of The Ideological Brain — Das Ideologische Gehirn!

Delighted that the book can now be found in bookstores across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in this bold and beautiful Bauhaus cover ⚫️🔴⚪️🔵

☀️ My interview with The New York Times was featured in today’s @nytimes.com Morning Briefing 🥳

Q: If we’re wired a certain way, can we change?
A: You have agency to choose how passionately you adopt these ideologies and what you reject or what you don’t.

🟠 Delighted to share that my book The Ideological Brain will be out in March (and in >10 languages later this year)! 🔵

📘 It’s about what makes some brains susceptible to rigid worldviews, how ideologies infiltrate our minds and bodies, and what it means to break free 📙
