Hi Ryan' love your work! I feel like 'Trust me I'm lying" was a warning about how psychologically damaging our media world was becoming and your recent books lay out a prescription for how to combat that damage. Was that intentional? Was there a personal investment in gaining this knowledge for yourself as a way to recover from getting sucked into the dark side of media manipulation?
