Lisa VanDamme is the founder of VanDamme Academy, a K-8 private school, and Read With Me. In this episode, we talk about how education and art bolster our pursuit of a meaningful life. Along the way, we discuss the role of hierarchy in education, cultivating a love of literature, and why I believe that the Bible can’t be the voice of God, because if that voice exists on earth, it’s Victor Hugo’s.

Jean Moroney is president of Thinking Directions, where she teaches people the psycho-epistemological skills they need to achieve challenging, selfish goals. 

In this episode, we talk about how Jean became interested in psycho-epistemology (a field identified by Ayn Rand that studies how we habitually use our mind). Along the way we delve into boredom, retaining what you read, and how to cope with strong emotions when discussing contentious ideas.
