Transcription: 
Hi my name is Michael Gurian. I'm a mental health counselor. I live in Spokane, Washington. I have two daughters, Gabrielle and Davita who are grown. And my wife is Gail, she's a family therapist. We've been married about 25 years. I have special interest in gender psychology, and that's the study of how males and females are different and similar and different. I've written a number of books in that area. Some books are: The Minds of Boys; The Wonder of Boys; The Wonder of Girls; Boys and Girls Learn Differently and that's the area that I focus on the most. I'm the co-founder of the Gurian Institute and we train teachers and parents on how boys and girls learn and grow. And I also keep a small therapy practice. My hobbies are nature. I love being outdoors and I spend as much time outdoors as I can. I also love to write poetry actually. So I don't just like to do science, I really like to do poetry. And I like to sit by creeks and write poetry.
