“Civilization rests on a series of successful conversations.” —Sam Harris
Neuroscientist, philosopher, podcaster and bestselling author Sam Harris, has been exploring some of the greatest questions concerning the human mind, society, and the events that shape our world.
Harris’ search for deeper understanding of how we think has led him to engage and exchange with some of our most brilliant and controversial contemporary minds - Daniel Kahneman, Robert Sapolsky, Anil Seth and Max Tegmark - in order to unpack and understand ideas of consciousness, free will, extremism, and ethical living.
For Harris, honest conversation, no matter how difficult or contentious, represents the only path to moral and intellectual progress.
Featuring eleven conversations from the hit podcast, these electric exchanges fuse wisdom with rigorous interrogation to shine a light on what it means to make sense of our world today.

Excellent
I now have a bunch of new thinkers to follow and books to read. Some of them expressed divergent views, which added depth to what I learned from listening. I like the plainness of the presentation—little music, no fluff. It’s exactly what it says on the box. Thanks Sam and guests. I will relisten more than once.

A diverse range of discussions from some truly intelligent and interesting people

Podcast NOT a book
There was no story, it was simply a podcast of people talking without any reasonable story line
