The Great Unlearn

203. Behavior Expert Chase Hughes on Materialism, Meaning, and the Stories That Influence Us

Episode Description from the Publisher

Chase Hughes returns for another round, joined by Adam Schell, for a wide-ranging conversation on what “awakening” actually points to. We’ve come to realize that maybe it’s less about feeling better and more about seeing clearly once illusions fall away. We explore how much of our suffering comes from taking too seriously what was meant for play, reflect on parenting in an age of conflicting information, question the idea that the news is more theater than truth, and touch on the edges of human potential that science can’t yet fully explain.
