Host Michael Taft talks with Professor John Verveke about realizing relevance, the process of determining what is important in a particular situation, and its application to meditation, how to enhance a sense of meaning in life, and why there is no Panacea in practice. John answers the question: What is a clever person?
John Verveque is an award-winning lecturer in Psychology, Cognitive Sciences and Buddhist Psychology at the University of Toronto. His areas of interest include wisdom, mindfulness, meditation, realization of relevance, general intelligence, and rationality.
