How does a life unfold? Is it a continuous, linear story, or a more circuitous experience?

In this interview, we speak with Dr. Stanly Krippner.

Dr. Krippner joins us to discuss his autobiography, A Chaotic Life: the Menoirs of Dr. Stanley Krippner. This 3-volume set is published by the University Professors Press. In it, Dr. Krippner elucidates the fractal like quality hiis life spurred on by encounters with cultural luminaries, such as
