Amazing podcast. I learned a lot about integrative psychiatry and a new way of thinking about mental health. Dr lea lis Psychiatrist
Dirk approaches this most ambitious of topics with his own quirky brand of sweetness, humility and widsdom. You’ll love listening to these conversations, as he gently guides the interview in equal parts the seasoned expert and the ever curious and delighted student. He’s asking the questions we all have but that most of us are afraid to ask.
Dirk’s skillful way of interacting and interviewing his guests makes this podcast a journey of surprises. Along the way you hear about other ways of being in the world; it broadens the perspective on creating meaning. I find the conversations stimulating and inspiring!

They raise so many interesting questions about the meaning of life, what makes for a really fulfilling life, new ways to think about spirituality, and so much more. If your looking for h... more
