0:04:40 Interview with William Gadea
-
William Gadea is a Peruvian-American author, filmmaker, and Zen Buddhist practitioner. He has written ARROW: The Power and Poison of Story, which explores how storytelling shapes our minds, our sense of self, and our happiness. Drawing on neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and personal experience, William looks at how the stories we tell can both heal and hinder us - and how awareness of this process can help us live with more clarity and compassion. He is also the creator of What Is Mind?, a YouTube channel about consciousness.
