With over 45 books on the structure of the brain of humans and experimental animals his groundbreaking work has been cited more than almost any other in science, but that’s not why I wanted to talk to George. This is why I wanted to talk about: <a href="https://theconversation.com/why-psychology-lost-its-soul-everything-comes-from-the-brain-54828">Why psychology lost its soul: everything comes from the brain</a>. <br> I went into this expecting a debate with a hard-core dogmatic, atheist/materialist, but found myself in a warm, if sometimes pointed, conversation with a learned scientist and lover of life.
