Life is the greatest experiment. Each of us is an experiment of one -observer and subject- making choices, living with them, recording the effects.

I am a child psychologist by training, and am fascinated by human behavior. I am particularly interested in the legacy of early experience. How do the events and experiences that we have early in life manifest in our later patterns thoughts, feelings, and behavior? And, if we know that we have liabilities, or “baggage”, from these early experiences, how can we get ourselves back on track? At work, I have the great fortune of being able to analyze large data sets to answer such questions. But sometimes the answers also reveal themselves in less obvious places. Like at the gym.
