Rod Dreher talks to Iain McGilchrist

Journalist and author Rod Dreher says the West has become closed to the idea that the universe contains the supernatural but argues that we might just find it under our noses.

Dreher explains how to encounter and embrace wonder in the world. He uses history, cultural anthropology, neuroscience and the ancient Church to show how to reconnect with the natural world and the Christian tradition. Dreher says the world is far more mysterious than we think, and he shares stories of miracles, angels and outbreaks of awe to illustrate his point.

Dreher is a senior fellow at The Danube Institute in Budapest and has been a columnist on US newspapers. His previous books include The Little Way of Ruthie Leming, The Benedict Option and Live Not by Lies. Here he talks to psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr Iain McGilchrist, author of The Divided Brain and The Search for Meaning; Why Are We So Unhappy?
