Gunther Weil - Living in the World

Today we are speaking with Gunther Weil.   Gunther has known some of the 20th century’s most interesting psychologists including Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, Gordon Allport, Timothy Leary and Henry Murray as well as such names as Tony Robbins and Eckhart Tolle.  We talk about them, his journey in and out of the psychedelic world, and his later work with Jay Hughes and John A Warnick at the Purposeful Planning Institute, where he was their longtime Dean of Values.  Gunther is a deeply thoughtful guest and his reflections on life, values, transcendence, grace and his own experiences of the various insightful communities he was involved in over the years.
