Launching January 1, 2026
History’s biggest personalities…
Now with their emotional baggage included.
Discover the attachment patterns and overlooked inner worlds that may have shaped the people who shaped everything else.
What if history’s greatest figures had gone to therapy?
History: Un-Attached dives into the emotional lives of iconic leaders, artists, and inventors—through the lens of attachment theory. It’s history, but with the courage to admit that even geniuses had unresolved issues.
Each chapter blends historical facts with psychological insights, exploring how insecurity, longing, pride, or childhood wounds may have quietly influenced world-changing decisions.
And at the end of every chapter, you get a “Your Choice” moment—your chance to sit in the therapist’s chair and decide what happens next. Diagnose wisely.
See Their Emotional Baggage Come to Life
Short animations that reimagine the inner worlds of history’s icons—because if they won’t go to therapy, we can at least animate it.

Wooster is also the author of Searching for Bowlby, the multiple-award-winning, bestselling biographical narrative on John Bowlby—the psychiatrist and researcher widely regarded as the father of attachment theory.
