Very much enjoyed joining @daviddesteno on his podcast. I think its the first time the classic contemplative practices are juxtaposed with modern wisdom science. Tune in!

What does it mean to be wise? How do you become so? On today's episode, we explore the science behind wisdom with Igor Grossmann (@psywisdom) & see how some Christian traditions developed exercises for it centuries ago with @BostonCollege Father Bart Geger podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how…
