What is Brain Lenses?

Essays and podcast episodes about how we think, and the variables that distort our perceptions—written by me, author and analytic journalist Colin Wright.

Free Brain Lenses essays and episodes are published on Tuesdays, and paid supporters receive an additional essay and podcast episode on Thursdays.

Who’s Colin Wright?

I’ve written books like Becoming Who We Need To Be and Some Thoughts About Relationships, I host the Let’s Know Things and One Sentence News podcasts, and I write and curate probably too many online publications (including You Probably Don’t Need and Aspiring Generalist).

I do some speaking, I travel a fair bit, and I love learning in all its forms (and sharing those learnings with others).

You can find out more about me, my work, and what I’m working on here, if you’re interested.
