John Vervaeke

"For thousands of years, philosophers and theologians have talked about the meaning of life, yet we currently face a crisis of life’s apparent meaninglessness"

John Vervake is an award winning professor at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science, and Buddhist psychology. He is the director of the Cognitive Science programme and he is the director of the Wisdom Studies Laborotary, a group designed to find meaning in a meaningless world.

He is the creator of the widely viewed, 50-part lecture series on Youtube, Awakening from the Meaning Crisis, which covers everything from science and spirituality, as well as his long standing After Socrates series.

He is also the author of Zombies in Western Culture and Awakening from the meaning crisis that both seek to uncover the hidden causes of popular discontent.

"With enormous erudition and expertise, here was someone talking about the roots of our current crises. - " What is Emerging
