Belief is almost an attempt to establish fact when there is no fact.
What happens when politics and religion collide? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Lesley Hazleton, a British-American author known for her deep dives into the intersection of these two powerful forces. Hazleton, who has reported from Jerusalem for Time and written for major publications like The New York Times and Harper's, brings a wealth of experience and insight to the table.
Her latest book, 'Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto', has been praised for its engaging and mischievous take on spirituality and belief. In their conversation, Hazleton and Zimmer explore the dangers of becoming too emotionally attached to beliefs and the liberating power of doubt. Hazleton's unique perspective, shaped by her diverse background—from nearly becoming a rabbi to considering life as a nun—adds a rich layer to the discussion.
She argues that belief often tries to establish facts where none exist, a concept that challenges us to rethink how we approach our convictions. Hazleton also touches on the importance of feeding the 'good wolf' within us, a theme central to the podcast. She discusses how our attachments and deficiencies, whether emotional or even nutritional, can shape our happiness and well-being.
This episode is not just about intellectual debate; it's about practical wisdom that can help you navigate your own journey of self-improvement. If you're curious about how doubt can be a tool for growth or how to balance your inner wolves, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights. Lesley Hazleton's reflections on belief, conviction, and the intelligence of doubt make for a compelling listen that will leave you pondering long after the episode ends.
