Dr. Keltner, ELEW, Dr. Ball, Dr. Wilczek, & Dr. Cotter: How Beauty & Purpose Shape a Flourishing Life

In this episode of Stories of Impact, we’re listening to a session from the Templeton World Charity Foundation’s Global Scientific Conference on Human Flourishing, which took place last fall. The conference aimed to showcase the latest and most meaningful scientific advances in understanding how beauty and purpose shape a flourishing life across cultures and alongside innovative new tools and strategies. Today’s session is a remarkable discussion on the human need for these elements in order to flourish, featuring a presentation by Dr. Dacher Keltner, musician ELEW discussing his approach to his art and performing for us on piano, and a panel with Dr. Frank Wilczek and Dr. Katherine Cotter, moderated by Dr. Philip Ball.
