A big puzzle: why are mental health problems so high in today’s objectively rich and peaceful societies? Our brains are built to survive conflict and this brings problems in peace. @ClareWilsonMed⁩ ⁦@theipaper⁩ My new book: amazon.com/Warhead-How-Br… inews.co.uk/news/science/h…


Thanks Dan @WBZNightside for interviewing me last night about my new book WARHEAD: How the brain shapes war and war shapes the brain. New brain research can help us succeed better in our everyday lives - and in the biggest challenges societies face today. amazon.com/Warhead-How-Br…

Looked like a great turnout for your event - the kind of enquiring audience that is a reason for confidence in the future!

Wonderful to talk about the past, present & future of great power competition in beautiful Idaho. I was very impressed by the level of interest in foreign and defense policy from Idahoans young and old. Thanks to the Boise Committee on Foreign Relations for the kind invitation.

Thanks @Jacobsen for this interview in @intpolicydigest about my new book on war and the brain - thanks so much for the good discussion! WARHEAD: How the brain shapes war and war shapes the brain - just published in the US! amazon.com/Warhead-How-Br…


Thanks @IskanderRehman for recommending my new book on war and the brain - it means a lot because I greatly respect your judgment, and you are not someone to give praise lightly. Thank you. amazon.com/Warhead-How-Br…

I highly recommend Nick's latest book and not just because he's an old friend. In many ways it's a groundbreaking book. It's also very engagingly written and wears its erudition lightly, a growing rarity in our field. amazon.com/Warhead-How-Br…

Fascinating new study, thanks @sjblakemore . Human brains exist in physical bodies - a profoundly important fact often overlooked when we think how to tackle challenges like mental health.
