Michael Meade is a groundbreaking storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He’s written several books, including Why the World Doesn’t End, The Water of Life, and The Genius Myth.
I was very excited to talk with Michael, and he did not disappoint. He actually blew my mind with a historical gem he shared toward the end of our conversation.
But before we get there…we cover the crisis of masculinity and the manosphere that has been dominating our feeds—but, of course, Michael has a fresh take on all of it. We explore antidotes to monoculture and polarization, and the fallacy of the hero’s journey.
And we spend most of our time talking about the importance of individually—each of us—growing our own souls: What this means. How we do it. And what the result would be, personally and collectively.
I loved this one—hope you enjoy it, too.
