People of Note - Robin Emsley

Rodney Trudgeon inviting you to this week’s edition of people of note where I spoke to Robin Emsley, a man who is an internationally famous and respected psychiatrist and who is also Professor of Psychiatry at Stellenbosch University. But we spoke about a book he has written which, when I first saw it, I though was yet another recipe book. I couldn’t have been more wrong! It’s called “Snoek on the Couch” and is a completely fascinating book about snoek, the people of the West Coast, language, an albino bulbul, mental health and the meaning of life. In fact, when I’d finished reading it I felt I knew myself better and quite a lot more about life!
