Stories We Tell Ourselves

Throughout history, we have told ourselves stories to try and make sense of our place in the universe. Richard Holloway takes us on a personal, scientific, and philosophical journey to explore what he believes are the answers to the biggest of questions. He examines what we know about the universe into which we are propelled at birth and from which we are expelled at death, the stories we have told about where we come from, and the stories we tell to navigate this muddling experience of life. Thought-provoking, revelatory, compassionate, and playful, "Stories We Tell Ourselves" is a personal reckoning with life's mysteries by one of the most important and beloved thinkers of our time.
