"My first book, The Idiot Brain, became an international bestseller, translated into more than thirty languages and read around the world. It continues to be used in schools, universities, mental health settings, and in other places I still can’t quite believe. It has been spotted amidst the elite of Bollywood, it has been used to mock injured celebrities, it made waves in the US TV industry, it has been discussed for live audiences of millions. According to various testimonies, there are now numerous doctors, scientists, and therapists in the world who chose their career path after being inspired by The Idiot Brain.
Multiple psychologists and psychotherapists continue to use it as a resource and guide for patients and their families.
Despite all this, I remain based in South Wales, where I’m now focusing on reconnecting my work with the place that shaped me.
Right now, I’m celebrating ten years of The Idiot Brain and working on my next major book, coming in 2027."
