Description

In Love & Understanding, the goal is wisdom. John Driggs, the show's host, is interested in building a personal and secular spiritual life - one that is grounded in honesty, humility, science, reason, meditation, reflection, contemplation, and compassion. John wants you to know yourself, to love yourself, to embody yourself fully. He wants you to learn to walk your own path in peace.

Topics covered in this podcast include ancient wisdom traditions, religion, moral philosophy, epistemology, reason and rationality, meditation and contemplative practices, consciousness, the life and physical sciences, art, poetry, literature, society, politics, law, communication, relationships, family, parenting, pedagogy, and many more topics.
