John Vervaeke - Overcoming The Meaning Crisis

Future Thinkers - Podcast készítő Mike Gilliland and Euvie Ivanova

We had a great pleasure to interview John Vervaeke, a lecturer at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science and Buddhist psychology. John’s excellent lecture series on YouTube called Awakening From the Meaning Crisis has inspired us to invite him on the show and discuss how to overcome the meaning crisis in today’s world. In this interview we also dive deep into the topics of integrating scientific and traditional views of the search for meaning, multiple kinds of knowing, and the ecology of transformational practices. We draw on various resources from cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, religion and spirituality.  This episode is divided in two parts. In Part 1 we talk about what is the meaning crisis, why it has emerged and what are some of the practices and solutions to deal with it.  Show notes: http://www.futurethinkers.org/98  Check out our two courses in personal evolution - Cultivating Sovereignty and Integrating the Shadow at http://courses.futurethinkers.org
