| Video Discription | Dr Samuel Wilkinson is a professor at Yale, a psychiatrist, and the author of the new book: Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply About The Nature of Our Existence. His book makes a compelling and provocative case that life (particularly human life) is inherently purposeful, drawing from evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience in order to do so. In this conversation, we explore: — Dr. Wilkinson‘s view that life is fundamentally a test and the implications this has for how we live our lives — How each of us have the potential for both good and evil contained within — Why relationships are the number one variable in happiness, our sense of purpose, and mental health. — The cognitive illusions that cause us to search for happiness in the wrong places, and how to overcome them. And more. You can learn more about Dr. Wilkinson‘s work and get a copy of the book at https://samueltwilkinson.com. --- Samuel T.
