310 | Longing, Beauty, and Community: A Conversation with Dr. Curt Thompson


Listen Later

On today’s episode of MercyTalk, we are thrilled to have a conversation with nationally renowned psychiatrist, speaker, and author, Dr. Curt Thompson, about some of the amazing content in his upcoming book, The Soul of Desire: Discovering the Neuroscience of Longing, Beauty and Community (releasing in Fall of 2021). Dr Thompson shares about what it means that we are people of desire and the relationship between longing and beauty. Also, in this episode, Dr Thompson shares about… 

  • The problem with approaching our lives as problems to be solved instead of artifacts of beauty to create 
  • What it means for us to be people of grief 
  • How beauty, art, nature, etc change how we approach our lives 
  • The importance of community and what it looks like for us to “practice for heaven” 

 

Join us for this powerful conversation as we learn from Dr Thompson about what it means to be human, to fulfill our intrinsic desire to feel known, valued and connected, and to live into the meaningful reality we desire to create.
