NEXT STOP XANADU looks at memory and wisdom with prominent neurophychologist Dr. Dilip Jeste. In the podcast, we discuss Dr. Jeste's book WISER: THE SCIENTIFIC ROOTS OF WISDOM, COMPASSION, AND WHAT MAKES US GOOD and explore its themes through one of Dr. Jeste's favorite films: the 1969 musical version of GOODBYE MR. CHIPS, starring Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark. Discussion includes: What exactly is wisdom, how do you cultivate it, and how does it make your life better? Also: How does the tale of a sad schoolteacher falling in love demonstrate the attainment of wisdom so well?
