John Williams writes about psychology, philosophy, and the science of personal change, with a particular interest in the crowded borderland where legitimate research meets popular self-improvement. His work is guided by a simple conviction: that ideas deserve to be explained at their strongest and judged at their most honest, and that readers are best served by neither uncritical praise nor reflexive dismissal. Drawn to figures who inspire devotion and controversy in equal measure, he specializes in separating what genuinely works from what merely persuades.
