About this listen

 This podcast features a thought-provoking conversation with guest, John Vervaeke, exploring the concept of meaning in modern life. Vervaeke, a cognitive scientist and philosopher, discusses the 'meaning crisis' - a widespread sense of disconnection and lack of purpose in society. He delves into topics such as the importance of wisdom, the nature of self, and the role of spirituality in addressing this crisis. The dialogue touches on historical perspectives, contemporary challenges, and potential paths forward for individuals and society. Key points: 1. The need to reconnect with a sense of belonging and mattering in a world that has become increasingly individualistic and disconnected. 2. The importance of facing reality, including our limitations and 'negative' aspects, as part of cultivating genuine meaning and wisdom.
