As the 1950s came to a close, a new era of social, spiritual, sexual, political and psychological revolution was beginning. Here, in this provocative dialogue, you will meet some of the wild characters, who made the 1960s the most memorable decade of the 20th century. Lattin says, "[The] big question at the time was: are these experiences people are having the same as a mystical experience or religious experience? People would report the same kind of things, like a sense of wonder, awe, transcendence, and empathy. . . The important question is what do you do with the experience, and how does it affect the way you live your life? Are you living your life with more awareness and compassion after the experience?" This engrossing program tells the story of how it all began. You will be entertained and perhaps even shocked. Don Lattin is a journalist covering alternative and mainstream religious movements. His work has appeared in dozens of U.S. magazine and newspapers. He's been a commentator on many T.V. news programs. He is the author of many books including Jesus Freaks: A True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge (HarperOne 2008), Following Our Bliss: How the Spiritual Ideals of the Sixties Shape Our Lives Today (Harper Collins 2004), Shopping for Faith: American Religion in the New Millennium (coauthor) (Jossey-Bass 2002), The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America (HarperOne 2010).

For decades spiritual and self help literature has encouraged people to go within to heal old wounds, nourish egos and coddle one's inner child. Myss says, "I think we’ve developed an idea that approaching God could be done any way we want and that it doesn't require prayer, reflection, or contemplation. We've substituted therapy for devotion." She points out that the intellect is not a spiritual practice. In order to live a life of meaning we must go beyond a life of acquisitions and move into a life of devotion. Her own path has taken her deeply into the world of Saint Teresa of Avila, the 16th Century Spanish Carmelite nun and mystic Saint whose profound writings continue to have an impact on any serious seeker. Myss exhorts and inspires us to participate in the search for this ultimate spiritual reality as expressed by Teresa of Avila.  Caroline Myss’ books include Invisible Acts of Power: Channeling Grace in Your Everyday Life (Free Press 2004), Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential (Harmony 2001), Why People Don't Heal and How They Can (Harmony 1997), Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (Harmony 1996), Archetypes: Who Are You?
