Wisdom: Reducing Foolishness, Enhancing Connectedness with John Vervaeke, PhD

This is a behind-the-scenes interview with John Vervaeke, PhD which was originally recorded for the purposes of my team's new film "Dark Night of Our Soul".

John is clearly a genius. That's apparent in the first 5 seconds. And it was one of those rare moments where I was nervous to facilitate a conversation. The energy in that room was fire - a kind of delicious mad-man energy that had me inching in closer minute by minute.

Naming this episode was practically impossible but what you will get out of this is a depthy exploration of wisdom from a man who's dedicated his life to studying it.
