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.
