Join New York Times bestselling author and philosopher Nate Klemp as he helps us explore pathways back to open-minded living.
With the avalanche of information we get every day, closing down our minds seems to be the only way to survive. We close off to ourselves by compulsively checking our devices. We close to each other by getting caught in echo chambers of outrage. But what if there’s another way? In this climate of distraction and division, Nate Klemp’s new book, Open: Living with an Expansive Mind in a Distracted World, offers a path back to a way of living that is creative and filled with wonder. Drawing on personal stories, scientific findings, and traditional wisdom, Klemp explores why we close down when faced with stressors or threats. He also reveals why training ourselves to engage even with discomfort, pain, and sadness leads to greater well-being in the long run.
