Su questo episodio

<p>When historian <a href="https://divinity.duke.edu/faculty/kate-bowler" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kate Bowler</a> was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, she became fascinated by the ways people try to impose order on events they can't control. She joins us to explore what it means to live fully when life offers no satisfying explanation for the tragedies we may face. Then, in the latest installment of "Your Questions Answered," psychologist <a href="https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/lfm14/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lisa Miller</a> returns to answer listener questions about the relationship between science and spirituality.&nbsp;</p><p><i>In our companion conversation for subscribers to Hidden Brain Plus, we take a deep dive into the origins and surprising spread of the prosperity gospel that Kate has studied.
