Musings about Ourselves and Other Strangers

Charlie Bresler

If you've ever been surprised by your own thoughts, well, you're not alone. From the time we're born to the time we die, we spend our lives meeting strangers — including the one within.

  • Thought provoking discussion

    Listening to Charlie Bresler interview someone, hearing his thoughts and experience and how a conversation unwinds with the person he interviews is always a great experience! Looking forward to hearing more! I highly recommend.
