Wavelength. I’m 50 years old. I went to Dartmouth. My brother went to Harvard. We grew up thinking intelligence was something you could prove - with degrees, jobs, networks, resumes. That was proof-of-work for us. And I lived like that. Surrounded by “smart people.” Ivy

Is the gut brain connection an "emerging science"? No. It has been an ignored science since 1926. This book is a gem and there are still many copies available on Abe books.
