Very glad I finally read this one! Took me back to that forever fascinating to me intersection of philosophy, science, and psychology. I absolutely love the history of those three, particularly in their foundations of past. I particularly loved the breaking down of theories, and how the main characters decided their next steps along the way.

I had no idea going into it just how much history would be involved, and it was formative and delightful, without being too long, or droll.
