Sam Harris dropped out of college in his early 20s and studied meditation in Nepal. The one thing you get out of meditation is you begin to understand the mechanics of your own suffering more and more from the first person inside, he says. "You can actually just relax in ways that you wouldn't otherwise be able to relax"
Neil deGrasse Tyson investigates free will, morality, meditation, psychedelic experiences, artificial intelligence, and more alongside neuroscientist and author Sam Harris, comic co-host Godfrey, neurotheologist Andrew Newberg, and neuroscientist Robert Wright. You have no choice but to listen.
