Speaker 1

What made Vincent Vanco one of the greatest painters and most tortured souls of all time. There's something truly magical about the fact that he pulled out of this life of misery, these joyful images of flowers and rolling hills and bright colors. Would Albert Einstein be diagnosed with attention deficit disorder today? He was a very good student in the mouth and sciences, and he was a mediocre to decent students in other areas. Some of that is lack

of interest. Some of that is also lack of talent. Was Harry Judini predestined to become the Great escape artist based on his family's great escape? All of these things can function as sort of a metaphor for his own genesis and origin story, which seems to be again, you know, a series of escapes. I'm Dr GAYL. Salts, and on my new podcast Personology, I'll be joined by amazing experts to delve into the minds of famous historical figures. Imagine a leader today that I'm going to go and occupy

the National Mall of the United States. Just think of how radical that would be, how audacious that would be. Martin lnder King, if he had lived, he would have been seen as this radical leader. Something that I find kind of amazing how free to CALLO is that her attitude towards sexuality seems particularly ahead of her time. She says, homosexuality is good, it's natural. She just embraces sexuality as

a part of life. I would say it's like the first psychotherapy you know that John Lennon has in a way to really process what's happened. The doctor would later say, we took him part, we didn't put him back together, so he was incredibly raw, and the result was this album. If you want to know what really made exceptional people tick, then take a listen to Personology five.
