John Vervaeke is an Assistant Professor in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto. His work constructs a bridge between science and spirituality in order to understand the experience of meaningfulness and the cultivation of wisdom so as to afford awakening from the meaning crisis.
In their conversation, Caleb and John talk about the nature of transformative experience and how Stoicism can transform who you are. The discussion is deep and will repay multiple listens.
