Imagine you're a shipwrecked sailor adrift in the enormous Pacific. You can choose one of three directions and save yourself and your shipmates -- but each choice comes with a fearful consequence too. How do you choose? In telling the story of the whaleship Essex, Charlie shows how fear propels imagination, as it forces us to imagine the possible futures and how to cope with them. Check out this week's "Wisdom with Charlie Perkins" which is available on Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Amazon Alexa, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcast, and all major platforms.
