And my argument is it's had so much more of a profound effect than we tend to acknowledge. Because the fact that it's women who bear children is so, so, so socially important, in terms of our ability to work, our economic vulnerabilities, our ability to participate in politics, all of this. And the pill is just this like enormous game changer, where suddenly it's a choice.

The trade-offs are normally in other areas of life, like, well, like we have massively falling birth rates and there are political and economic problems arising from that. That's not just downstream with the pill, but the pill is a really big part of our story.

I think that it is shifted towards, and you be careful here, because I don't want to, I don't, what I don't want to say is that the sexual revolution has been fabulous for men in general. I think that a lot of men have not done well by it.

But I think in general that the really big winners from the sexual revolution have been a small subset of men. So what I write about in the book as the Hugh Hefner's of the world. Massive sexual appetites and are attractive and can basically have as many women as they want. Don't have to get married to them because Christianity has faded away. Don't have to worry about unwanted pregnancies because of the pill, you know. So they've had a ball.

I think that there is some important average differences between men and women psychologically. Not least, I mean that's not just what I think, like the data is, I think, unimpeachable on this. And not least when it comes to sexuality.

Simon Sinek is a renowned leadership expert and the founder of 'The Optimism Company', which provides programmes for leadership development. He is also the best-selling author of the books, 'Start With Why', 'Leaders Eat Last', 'The Infinite Game', and 'Find Your Why'.

And that seems to be what you focused much of your work, especially in this book, to identify and to illuminate.

What do we need to know from a very top-line perspective about the impacts of menopause on the brain?

I didn't realize that there was any impacts on a woman's brain when she goes through menopause,

What we need to know is that as a society, we tend to really focus on only half of what menopause is all about, which is fertility.

I saw in your book you said things like vaginal dryness.

Popcorn brain is a biological phenomenon, a real biological phenomenon coined by a man named Dr. Levy, a psychologist.

And it is essentially your brain circuitry starting to pop based on overstimulation. So it's not like your brain is actually popping, but it's that sensation of popcorning because of spending too much time online.

On the front of your book it says, the hacking of the mind.

And the idea of the book, the reason I put the book together is because it actually makes us miserable.

It has stolen our birthright.

And our birthright is to be happy.

And we are not.

If anything, we're the opposite of happy.

We're extraordinarily unhappy.

Just look at the incidence of depression around the world.

And lastly, number seven, the one that is the reason for the book.

I've got three of them here but I know that there's many more.

And I also have this book called Metabolical.

Metabolical, The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food Nutrition and Modern Medicine which is a little bit of a bigger book but it gives more of the foundations around metabolism which I think a lot of people don't understand.

There's a book called The Courage of Being Disliked.

It's courageous to be disliked.

I was afraid of being disliked.

And because I was afraid of being disliked, I was disliked.

It's such a powerhouse.

I wrote about this in my book Young Forever where we talked about how do we have our own repair or renewal system kick in because the body think about it Stephen your body when you cut yourself heals the skin closes how does it know how to do that?

Yeah, you do. It's called Young Forever. Yeah. And it's not that hard. You know, as we talked about the blue zones, it's eat real food.

Young Forever is my latest book and it's where I poured my entire knowledge base and tips and ideas and strategies about how to optimize your health. And it's not just for longevity, for any area of health that you have issues with, it's powerful.

I was going to recommend that one as well, but I'm going to say Food Fix because that book is fantastic. And that's one of the ones. The book about longevity that you released recently, Young Forever is a fantastic book, but the Food Fix book as well is really clarifying for a lot of people that are probably confused about food.

In the book you talk about how you would tell yourself that he's just gone away on business and that he's going to return at some point.

And in the book you talk about how you realize that in inspiring if someone hit you pretty hard in the head, you'd end up seeing stars.

In your book, you talk about the relationship you had with Edmund and it wasn't always great in terms of his approach to coaching. You talk about how he would physically strike you during training, but more potentially even more severely, he would emotionally abuse you during training.

I read in your book that they called you miss man.

In your book you talk about how comments online and newspaper comments and stuff would get to you.

The biggest study done on this question was done in a book that came out called The Normal Bar.

So of the people who don't cuddle only four percent of them said they had a great sex life. 96% of the non-cuddlers had an awful sex life.
