Dax Shepard

So she came from a very, very unusual upbringing.

But I grew up in Jerusalem.

I grew up with my parents.

Yeah.

But she also, she didn't believe in grades and she didn't really care about school so much.

So I could actually stay home whenever I wanted from school.

And I did.

I stayed at home a lot and we had this huge library and I would read a lot.

It was completely uncensored.

Seven, I would read the Kama Sutra.

I was trying to make sense of it.

Different books that I read at the time that I could barely understand, but I just read them anyway.

And especially on days when we had exams, I didn't have to go because she didn't believe in exams.

It's crazy you ever went to medical school.

It was very unusual.

And whenever we would come home, so we would read together.

It was a very rich intellectual environment.

And my mom, she was the editor of the equivalent of Scientific American.

So there's also a lot of talk about science and popular science.

So here's why I ended up also writing popular science and popular psychology.
