Psychologist and author Richard Beck joins us to discuss his recent book Hunting Magic Eels: Recovering an Enchanted Faith in a Skeptical Age. Richard is an engaging critic of some forms of contemporary "disenchanted" spirituality. He's also a fun dialogue partner and a good sport, who was willing to roll with Kyle's annoying philosophy questions. Some stuff we discuss in this conversation:

Is our age really disenchanted?
Does enchantment need to be transcendent?
What's wrong with consumerist spirituality?
What about the "spiritual but not religious" crowd?
Are Catholics more enchanted than Protestants?
What do dancing gorillas and paying attention have to do with God?
What about mystical experiences?
Is Kyle a narcissist and/or a sociopath?

And more!
The whiskey we taste in this episode is 4 Roses single barrel 18 year old bourbon.
