The Psychological Soul of Spirituality - Ralph Piedmont

[https://www.listennotes.com/listen-score/]) Episode: The Psychological Soul of Spirituality - Ralph Piedmont [https://www.listennotes.com/e/0d38d6cd0f984063bed88cda3de2d390/] Pub date: 2021-07-19 [https://production.listennotes.com/podcasts/mindstew-joshua-kugel-fNR36-gGJb0.300x300.jpg] My guest today is Professor Ralph Piedmont, Professor of Pastoral Counselling at Loyola University in Maryland and a past president of the APA's Society for the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality. In this conversation, we discuss the nature of spirituality as a personality trait (arguably the sixth personality trait!) that cuts across cultures and religions, it's relevance for clinical practice and wellbeing and the nature of the FFM domain of openness to experience and its maladaptive expressions. Ralph is also co-author (with Teresa Wilkins) of the recently published book, Understanding the Psychological Soul of Spirituality [https://www.routledge.com/Understanding-the-Psychological-Soul-of-Spirituality-A-Guidebook-for-Research/Piedmont-Wilkins/p/book/9781138559165]. **20% Discount Available to MindStew listeners - enter the code BSE20 at checkout** The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Joshua Kugel, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

In the last days, Sam Harris and former guest Yuri Deigin have both been heavily critical of claims made by both Bret and his guests. In this conversation with Rebel Wisdom's David Fuller, Eric talks through his concerns at what is going on, and what he thinks are the deeper currents of the problem, including a lack of effective leadership in dealing with the pandemic.

Karl Smith: inflation, the debt crisis, China and the American tripartite class system

Podcast: Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning [https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/razib-khans-unsupervised-learning-razib-khan-eXNZ39PFKyQ/] (LS 45 · TOP 1% what is this? [https://www.listennotes.com/listen-score/]) Episode: Karl Smith: inflation, the debt crisis, China and the American tripartite class system [https://www.listennotes.com/e/e7c5753595ec47dfb0f1cc9fceff21a0/] Pub date: 2021-08-06 [https://production.listennotes.com/podcasts/razib-khans-unsupervised-learning-t1MdwpSgAGk-eXNZ39PFKyQ.300x300.jpg] Economics is obviously important. Recently in the US, we’ve been talking about the threat of inflation, and spending financed through debt. What does this all mean? Not only are the answers important on a macro level, but they’re also relevant to all of us. To attack these questions I decided to talk toKarl Smith [https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/AThZA5-AOcI/karl-w-smith], a columnist atBloomberg [https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/AThZA5-AOcI/karl-w-smith]. We tackle four big topics: 1. Are we on the path toward severe inflation? (in the US) 2. Is the US headed toward a public debt crisis in the 2020’s? 3. What is the path forward for the US-China relationship? 4. Finally, Karl proposes his own understanding of the new class system in the US, divided into three groups, and how we can proceed forward in a reasonably equitable manner The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Razib Khan, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
