What is real? Perhaps you’ve found yourself asking if something is genuine lately. In our complex world, separating fact and fiction is becoming increasingly difficult. But despite the blurry lines between reality and illusion, there is still hope, as history and personal experiences show that people will always seek meaning and purpose. The truth of our existence, connections and values is felt deeply within the heart. In this issue, we invite you to explore these profound truths and reflect on the enduring qualities that define our shared humanity.

Inside the Issue

On Being

By Krista Tippett and David Whyte

A conversation between Peabody Award-winning broadcaster Krista Tippett and renowned poet David Whyte. In their conversation, Tippett and Whyte engage in a dance of ideas, exploring the contours of the human experience with depth and nuance. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, their dialogue serves as a beacon of wisdom and insight, offering solace and guidance to those grappling with life’s most profound questions.

Masters of Love

By Emily Esfahani Smith

Of all the people who get married, only three in ten marriages remain healthy and happy, as the psychologist Ty Tashiro points out in his book The Science of Happily Ever After. Writer and author of The Power of Meaning Emily Esfahani Smith argues that science says lasting relationships come down to just two things: kindness and generosity.

Character counts

By Dr Edward Brooks

Dr Edward Brooks, Executive Director of the Oxford Character Project, talks to Hannah Finch, our Editor in Chief, about why character is back in fashion in education and professional development. “Philosophically, character development is viewed as a lifelong endeavour, a continual process of growth and becoming.”

“The ability to ask beautiful questions – often in very un-beautiful moments – is one of the great disciplines of a human life.”

David Whyte
