March 08, 2023 How Does Culture Shape Us?
This week on the program, Drew and Perry continue discussing the book "You Are What You Love," by James K. A. Smith. They are challenged by Smith's proposition in the second chapter that we may not actually love what we say we love, since our behaviour usually shows us what we actually love.
