Reading Experience

About the Author
Why We Do What We Do was written in 2016, when Atharva Inamdar was 19 and developing what would become The Vomit Method — marathon writing sessions of 20 hours a day, 15 days straight, to finish a book. The psychology & mind work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. With 49 psychology books in the catalog, this genre represents a sustained interest in why people act the way they do — rooted in observation, not just textbook theory.
