Episode notes

There are ethical prodigies in the world, at whatever point in life they fully embody those abilities. The dolly lama has helped me understand that my dignity doesn't mean very much until it actually is meets that your dignity together. I as an individual, i am the sound of one hand clapping. We have this particular conversation. It's almost a clachet at this point, but really what it is, it's the answer to a question, who am?

Sam Harris speaks with Arthur C. Brooks about what it takes to build a good life. They discuss the power of social comparison, the intelligence taboo, political dignity and ethical hierarchy, the Dalai Lama, the nature of love, fluid and crystallized intelligences, the strange case of Linus Pauling, the limits of identity, atheism and religious faith, fear of death, psychedelics, existentialism, St. Thomas Aquinas, and other topics.
