So now it's my great pleasure to welcome the amazing Dr. Jeffery Schwartz, a research psychologist at the University of California, and one of the world's leading experts in neuroplasticity, particularly as it relates to obsessive compulsive disorder.
It was his work that demonstrated how thoughts can actually change brain chemistry. And his work has actually informed a lot of mine. And he's the author of several groundbreaking books. He's also a Hollywood adviser on characters with mental disorders, such as Howard Hughes, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie The Aviator.
