Jeremy Sherman PhD has been on many of the rides in life's amusement park.
For example, in his 20’s he was an engineer getting water to poor Guatemalan villages and was also an elected elder in the world’s largest hippy commune.
During a juicy midlife crisis he pivoted to academic research on the questions that were eating at him.
He now calls himself a cradle-to-grave researcher, collaborating with a Berkeley neuroscientist on everything from the chemical origins of life to our grave situation today.

He has three podcasts including one in which he debates himself and another that’s a pod class version of his new book, An Introduction to Psychoproctology: Spotting and stopping assholery at home and in the world
