God, 'The Current Thing,' And Apple — With Antonio Garcia Martinez

This book is a collection of lectures delivered by William James at the University of Edinburgh between 1901 and 1902. It focuses on the personal and subjective aspects of religious experiences, rather than on theology or organized religion. James examines various types of religious experiences, including healthy-mindedness, the sick soul, conversion, mysticism, and saintliness. He emphasizes the importance of feeling and personal experience in religion, arguing that these experiences are the primary source of religious beliefs and practices. The book also discusses the psychological and philosophical implications of these experiences, highlighting their complexity and life-altering nature[2][3][4].

Martínez shares his observations on startups, venture capital, and the broader tech ecosystem, offering a unique perspective on the disruptors and visionaries shaping our world.
