With Jacob Needleman and Dr. Angeles Arrien.
Runtime: 47 minutes.
Myths are no joking matter. Myths inspire our very actions and give each of us a sense of meaning, both in our individual lives and in the lives of our culture and society as a whole. In this program, philosopher and author Jacob Needleman, and anthropologist Angeles Arrien join Bokara for an exploration of the myths surrounding money, time and meaning in American society today.
In this lively discussion, several other core American myths, including consumption, pleasure, and happiness are discussed and contrasted with the dominant myths of America’s founding fathers, as well as the dominant myths that operate in other cultures.
