Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson explore the practical wisdom within two branches of humanistic psychology: existential psychology and transpersonal psychology. They draw from thinkers like Rollo May, Irvin Yalom, Abraham Maslow, and Stanislav Grof to examine how concepts like freedom, anxiety, death, and the limits of the self can lead to a fuller, more meaningful life. The conversation moves through the historical context, foundational lessons, and how these ideas apply beyond the individual.
