Dr Frank Tallis is a writer and clinical psychologist. His books include The Incurable Romantic, The Act of Living and Mortal Secrets: Freud, Vienna and The Discovery of the Modern Mind, which was a book of the year in The Times. His new book, Wise, asks how we can embrace and accept our mortality when our brains are hard-wired to resist it, and how we can achieve meaning beyond the midpoint of life.
