Music

I have been composing music since the mid 1980s.

After attempting to break into the British pop/rock music scene, I left it many years before I sat down at a keyboard again, this time composing a number of ambient drone soundscapes.

Now that I have moved to Đà Lạt, Viet Nam, I have started writing pop/rock songs again.

If this resonated

The Quiet Half is where I write most of this kind of thinking. A midweek essay, a weekend digest of what's worth reading. Free, twice a week. Sign up below.

If you'd rather have it in book form, I have fifteen books across psychology, neurodivergence, and Đà Lạt-set fiction, plus conversation card sets and an audio course. Each is available on Amazon — or, for paid Substack subscribers at US$90/year, the whole library comes included.

If you've read a few of these now and want to talk about something specific to you — neurodivergence, masking at work, the thing you've half-named but haven't said out loud — that's a different conversation. Email me at lee@mindblownpsychology.com.
