Speaker 1: What made Vincent Vanco one of the greatest painters and
Speaker 1: most tortured souls of all time. There's something truly magical
Speaker 1: about the fact that he pulled out of this life
Speaker 1: of misery, these joyful images of flowers and rolling hills
Speaker 1: and bright colors. Would Albert Einstein be diagnosed with attention
Speaker 1: deficit disorder today? He was a very good student in
Speaker 1: the mouth and sciences, and he was a mediocre to
Speaker 1: decent students in other areas. Some of that is lack
Speaker 1: of interest. Some of that is also lack of talent.
Speaker 1: Was Harry Judini predestined to become the Great escape artist
Speaker 1: based on his family's great escape? All of these things
Speaker 1: can function as sort of a metaphor for his own
Speaker 1: genesis and origin story, which seems to be again, you know,
Speaker 1: a series of escapes. I'm Dr GAYL. Salts, and on
Speaker 1: my new podcast Personology, I'll be joined by amazing experts
Speaker 1: to delve into the minds of famous historical figures. Imagine
Speaker 1: a leader today that I'm going to go and occupy
Speaker 1: the National Mall of the United States. Just think of
Speaker 1: how radical that would be, how audacious that would be.
Speaker 1: Martin lnder King, if he had lived, he would have
Speaker 1: been seen as this radical leader. Something that I find
Speaker 1: kind of amazing how free to CALLO is that her
Speaker 1: attitude towards sexuality seems particularly ahead of her time. She says,
Speaker 1: homosexuality is good, it's natural. She just embraces sexuality as
Speaker 1: a part of life. I would say it's like the
Speaker 1: first psychotherapy you know that John Lennon has in a
Speaker 1: way to really process what's happened. The doctor would later say,
Speaker 1: we took him part, we didn't put him back together,
Speaker 1: so he was incredibly raw, and the result was this album.
Speaker 1: If you want to know what really made exceptional people tick,
Speaker 1: then take a listen to Personology five. Personalogy on March
Speaker 1: nine on the I Heart Radio app, on Apple Podcasts
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. M HM
