The Detached Observer

Here brain and mind are not necessarily the principal subjects. They become ways of understanding the larger human world. The Detached Observer therefore encompasses political psychology, leadership, the workplace, social identity, belonging, power, critical thinking, risk, entrepreneurship and cultural observation. This distinction explains why The Fox and the Hedgehog belongs here: cognitive archetypes are being used to think about judgement and how people navigate complexity. Likewise, Being FOMO uses our relationship with animals as a lens through which to reflect upon belonging and contemporary human behaviour. By contrast, The Alienated Brain and The Samurai Mind remain Inspired Neuropsychiatry because culture provides their lens while mental health remains their principal subject.
