Thinking With Somebody Else's Head
Science, philosophy, psychology, quantum physics, religion. In all these areas, we see the world based on what comes from others. Which means we're actually thinking with somebody else's head - not necessarily our own. And how much of those philosophies, ideas and theories are true?

We'll explore this rich and provocative territory in this podcast. Email me about your thoughts at [email protected]
