208 | Jamie Wheal | Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind

How can we find meaning when life seems devoid of purpose?

Jamie Wheal, a renowned author, speaker, and expert on the subject of peak performance and flow states, explores the pressing question of how we can regain a sense of awe, wonder, and meaning in our lives and society in his new book Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That’s Lost Its Mind.

Drawing from his extensive research in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology, Jamie examines the impact of societal and cultural factors on overall well-being and sense of meaning. He explores the human longing for transcendence and proposes a roadmap for individuals to reclaim a more vibrant, purpose-driven existence.

Jamie also suggests that reclaiming a sense of rapture–a deep, transformative experience of wonder and connection–is crucial for our personal growth and the overall health of our society.
