In this episode, Dr. Arthur C. Brooks - world-renowned social scientist, best-selling author, Harvard professor, former president of AEI, and love revolutionary - and host Gary Heil dive deep into what leading with love looks like in practice.

Drawing inspiration from the very best chamber music performances in the world, some of the most renowned thought-leaders throughout time, and everyday experiences, Brooks shares the surprising correlation between meaning and purpose and how the world defines happiness, discusses the difference between anger and contempt, and shares how critical it is, during this current crucible of leadership that so many are facing in today’s world, that leaders drop the inability to get sentimental while focusing on love above all else.

Important takeaways from this episode include:

How to love when you don’t feel it at all.
Why it’s critical to love people and use things, not the other way around.
What it means to be the leader you’ve always wanted to have.
Why destroying your enemies is a short-sighted strategy.
Situations in which love must be tough, and more.
