I also learned, through the course of reading Karl's book, Projections, that not only is he an accomplished psychiatrist, and obviously an accomplished research scientist and a family man, but he's also a phenomenal writer.

Why people recommend it

Projections by Karl Deisseroth is a remarkable exploration of human emotions and psychiatry that uses real patient interactions to illustrate how the brain functions in both healthy and diseased states. On the Lex Fridman Podcast, Lex Fridman introduced the book and strongly recommended it to listeners exploring the intricacies of human psychology. Andrew Huberman also featured the book prominently on Huberman Lab, praising the author not only as an accomplished research scientist and psychiatrist, but also as a phenomenal and dreamy writer. Huberman noted that the stories within the pages teach readers how the mind works and encouraged his audience to purchase the book across standard platforms. During a later episode, Huberman brought up the title again, while Sam Harris noted that it was already sitting on his personal reading stack. The podcast hosts repeatedly lauded the publication for its unique blend of rigorous scientific insight and compelling literary storytelling.
