Mridula Lakshmi

Writing, technology and visual work shaped by one question: how do people learn to see what is already shaping them?

Mridula Lakshmi is a writer and creator exploring the relationship between belief, identity, attention and lived behaviour. She is the author of Magic Logic: How Belief Shapes Identity and Reality, a work of literary psychology that examines how repeated states, actions and witnessing contribute to the identities people inhabit.

Her wider body of work includes SEER, an upcoming thinking companion designed to help people notice, understand, remember and gently advance patterns across their lives. Across writing, technology and visual work, her central interest remains the same: how people learn to see what is already shaping them.
