Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
Jeffrey Masson has had at least four lives: first as a boy raised to become a “spiritual leader.” While in the middle of his disillusion, he became a professor of Sanskrit at the University of Toronto. Upon graduation, he became Projects Director of the Freud Archives when fate intervened: Masson’s findings on Freud turned Masson into a psychoanalytic pariah, and he gave up both his professorship and his analytic career to delve into the far more fascinating world of animal emotions. Two of his books, When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About Love, were New York Times bestsellers. He lives with his family in Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.
