Summary:
From the host of National Public Radio's program 'On Being' comes a master class in living drawn from the inspiring stories of extraordinary individuals who possess what she calls "spiritual genius." Over the fifteen years that Krista Tippett has hosted her radio program on NPR, first under the title Speaking of Faith and then as On Being , her goal has been to shine a light on the most extraordinary people at work on the big issues and questions of the day, people whose missions kindle in us a sense of wonder. Scientists in a variety of fields; theologians from a number of faiths; poets, activists, and many others have all opened themselves up to Tippett's compassionate but searching conversation. Tippett distills the insights she has gleaned from these luminous characters about the meaning of life in its many dimensions and what it means to be human. The art of living can mean many things to many different people. The questions most of us are asking ourselves today are intimate and civilizational all at once - definitions of when life begins and when death happens; the meaning of marriage and family; the human relationship to the natural world; and our relationships to technology.
