Dr. Jeff Wattles - A New Philosophy of Living Through Truth, Beauty & Goodness

from The Cosmic Citizen · host Paula Thompson

This week on the Cosmic Citizen, Dr. Jeff Wattles will share some of the keen insights he gained after retiring last year from being a full-time professor of philosophy at Kent State University. He especially wants to share with our listeners what he has learned concerning cosmic truths about the family of God. Jeff earned a  B.A. in philosophy at Stanford University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy from Northwestern. He retired from Kent State University after a long and distinguished career as a philosophy professor and is currently writing a book on a new philosophy of living. It is a topic that he explores and blogs about regularly at the following site:  http://anewphilosophyofliving.com/  He says he realized his need to balance his philosophical and religious strengths by focusing effectively on the practical tasks of everyday material existence. Jeff admits that he also learned major spiritual lessons when he created a street ministry to share profound spiritual truth with homeless and unemployed people. He likes to expound on the great benefit and ministry of beauty and joy in our emotional lives. By the end of our show, he hopes to leave us with the inspirational story of the city of Cleveland’s Breakthrough Schools for poor minority students. And reiterate how beneficial what he learned in one of their middle schools has been to his own character growth and achievement. Jeff Wattles is a beloved teacher and scholar and this week's show promises to go deep. If you like to go deep, please join us.
