The Silver Bullet Is Love, w/Wendy Newton

Episode Summary

Love is the solution, but what is love?

Episode Notes

In reaction to my previous podcast episode encouraging us not to look for "silver bullet" solutions, I wanted to affirm that there is one silver bullet that addresses everything. I use Elyse Poppers' book The Little Love Book as a prompt to discuss love with Wendy Newton. Poppers, a visual and performing artist as well as a writer, produced this book as a culmination of a project looking for the language with the most words for "love." Her conclusion was that Sanskrit is that language.

In the podcast, I also mention The Yoga of the Nine Emotions, by Peter Marchand.
