I believe humans are fundamentally a spiritual species in search of meaning and that we’re in the beginning stages of a massive culture-wide rejection of the materialistic, nihilistic story. In this new series, I talk with experts in a variety of disciplines who share this conviction and want to work towards solutions even if they disagree with me or don't hold to all of my religious/theological convictions. This is part 2 of this series, and it continues my conversation with Dr. Clay Routledge & Ben Wilterdink into some profoundly important territory. Dr. Clay Routledge is a leading expert in existential psychology. He is a highly cited scholar who has published more than 100 scholarly papers, co-edited three books, authored two books, and received numerous awards for his academic research and student mentorship.
