Really like the format of this series all together. I like that It’s Broken down over time the way society experienced it. Dr Honda is experiencing and reacting to the information the same way society at the time would have. Because he reacts in a stream of consciousness manner it helps me understand the context to the thought process. Humberto is a very engaging presenter of information. Very easy to follow and very engaging due to posed questions and deep dives into specific nuggets. I did not live through anything on this spectrum but by listening to this and by Humberto sharing his experience and Dr Honda sharing data/info on how and why our brains work the way they do. I’m able to have more empathy and understanding. And Just be a more compassionate person in the world.
