The Science of Self-Discovery from Sam Harris | Insights at the Edge Podcast

Tami Simon and Sam Harris discuss consciousness, the nature of the mind, and more. Harris' work spans a wide range of topics, including neuroscience, moral philosophy, religion, meditation, political polarization, and rationality, all centered around how our growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live. As the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including "The End of Faith," "The Moral Landscape," "Free Will," "Lying," and "Waking Up," Harris is known for his in-depth exploration of the human experience. He is also the host of the popular "Making Sense" podcast and the creator of the "Waking Up" app, which offers a modern approach to living a more examined life through mindfulness training and secular wisdom. With over 30 years of meditation practice and studies with various Tibetan, Indian, Burmese, and Western meditation teachers, Harris brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to this conversation. He holds a degree in philosophy from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA. In this episode, Harris shares his expertise on the intersection of neuroscience and philosophy, offering a unique perspective on how we can cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
