He's asking: What happened to us?

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson has a Ph.D. in Sanskrit from Harvard University and was trained as a Freudian analyst from 1971-1979. He was Project Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives until he published a series of books critical of Freud, psychoanalysis, psychiatry, and therapy.
In 1995, Masson found a powerful new direction when he published the groundbreaking international best seller, When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals. This was followed by 8 more books about animals, looking in every one at their emotions:
- The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats
- The Pig Who Sang to the Moon (which turned him into a vegan)
- Raising the Peaceable Kingdom
- Altruistic Armadillos, Zenlike Zebras
- The Face on Your Plate: The Truth About Food
- The Dog Who Couldn't Stop Loving
His next book is called, tentatively, Apex Predators: Humans, Orcas, and the Origins of Good and Evil, and I thought it was high time I did an interview with the New Zealand resident and shared it on Planet Green.
