Steve Taylor is a transpersonal psychologist, researcher and author of 15 best-selling books on psychology and spirituality.
Our conversation begins with one of his earlier books: “Disconnected: The Roots of Human Cruelty, and How Connection Can Heal the World” which explores the continuum of human nature from psychopathy to spirituality and then we turn toward his most recent book “The Adventure: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Awakening” which delves into eight qualities of spiritually awakened people.
Steve shares practical exercises and meditations that help us cultivate these qualities, and offers insight into why practicing them leads to deep connection with yourself and others and through that, genuine happiness and fulfillment.
