Episode description

This is a book about why people want what they want. It's based on the notion that, in the end, we will either be masters or slaves of our desires and that we can choose the outcome. True freedom, our guest argues, is the freedom to want what is best for ourselves and for others—and that those need not be different things. The ability to desire in a healthy way is not something we're born with, but a freedom we must earn. And due to one powerful and hidden feature of human desire, that freedom is hard won.
