Sounds About Right: Audiobooks to Help Us Understand the World

Dr. Emily Bashah is a licensed psychologist, author and podcast co-host with a private practice in Scottsdale, Arizona.
An expert witness in criminal, immigration, and civil courts, she has worked on high-profile cases covering issues of domestic terrorism and capital offenses, as well as first-degree murder.
I spoke with Dr. Bashah about the book she co-authored with Paul Johnson, former Mayor of Phoenix, Arizona titled: Addictive Ideologies: Finding Meaning and Agency When Politics Fail You
Some of the topics we discussed includes:

• How her life experiences and identity of self, helped her get to the point of co-authoring the book.
• How Addictive Ideologies work to absorb us off the responsibility of ourselves.
• The role Political Leaders play in political ideologies
• The escalating war between Isreal & Palestine.
• Have lessons truly been learnt?
• The psychology of terrorism, why does it happen? and what can be done to prevent it?
• Some of the 7 Codes we can live by to own our agency
• How the people she has worked with, have taught her that happiness is an inside job

The Book and Audiobook: Addictive Ideologies: Finding Meaning and Agency When Politics Fail You is out now.
