Transformative Experiences
from The Truth with Herve Manzi · host Hervemanzi
Some people go through hell and come out completely reborn. Others go through the exact same thing and feel nothing. Why? In this episode, we go deep into the science and philosophy of transformative experiences — what they actually are, the five types researchers have identified, and the uncomfortable truth nobody talks about: the experience itself doesn't transform you. What you do with it does. Plus, I share something from my own life I've never spoken about publicly — the moment that divided my life into a before and an after.
