‘Today I found out that not everyone has an internal monologue, and it’s ruined my day.’

A little while ago this blog post went viral, triggering an intense online debate.

Why do some people have loud, intrusive voices running in their head seemingly all the time, and others a totally ‘silent mind’?

My BBC Radio 4 documentary ‘The Silent Mind’ is now available here.
