WEBVTT - Introducing: Personology

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>What made Vincent Vanco one of the greatest painters and

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>most tortured souls of all time. There's something truly magical

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>about the fact that he pulled out of this life

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:17.799
<v Speaker 1>of misery, these joyful images of flowers and rolling hills

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and bright colors. Would Albert Einstein be diagnosed with attention

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>deficit disorder today? He was a very good student in

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the mouth and sciences, and he was a mediocre to

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>decent students in other areas. Some of that is lack

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>of interest. Some of that is also lack of talent.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Was Harry Judini predestined to become the Great escape artist

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>based on his family's great escape? All of these things

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>can function as sort of a metaphor for his own

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 1>genesis and origin story, which seems to be again, you know,

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a series of escapes. I'm Dr GAYL. Salts, and on

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>my new podcast Personology, I'll be joined by amazing experts

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>to delve into the minds of famous historical figures. Imagine

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a leader today that I'm going to go and occupy

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the National Mall of the United States. Just think of

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>how radical that would be, how audacious that would be.

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Martin lnder King, if he had lived, he would have

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>been seen as this radical leader. Something that I find

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of amazing how free to CALLO is that her

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:26.479
<v Speaker 1>attitude towards sexuality seems particularly ahead of her time. She says,

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>homosexuality is good, it's natural. She just embraces sexuality as

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a part of life. I would say it's like the

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>first psychotherapy you know that John Lennon has in a

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>way to really process what's happened. The doctor would later say,

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 1>we took him part, we didn't put him back together,

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>so he was incredibly raw, and the result was this album.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>If you want to know what really made exceptional people tick,

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>then take a listen to Personology five. Personalogy on March

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>nine on the I Heart Radio app, on Apple Podcasts

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:05.040
