Good Talks: Author Stephen Kent On Star Wars Cultural Impact, Philosophy, Politics, & Disney Controversy
Published 4 years, 5 months ago
Description
On this Heard Tell Good Talks, guest Stephen Kent joins us, and we talk about the philosophy and cultural impact of Star Wars, which he details in his excellent book " How The Force Can Fix The World: Lessons on Life, Liberty, and Happiness from A Galaxy Far, Far, Away." We talk about how things as wide ranging as the Stoics to the Samurai formed the ideas behind Star Wars mythology, and how concepts like mindfulness and preparedness could serve us well in the real world. Plus, since Star Wars is now owned by Disney, we touch on the latest controversies as the House of Mouse once again finds itself in the center of a cultural controversy.
