Balancing Knowledge and Wisdom on the Road to Discovery

My latest guest got swept up in its power, but he grounded himself through faith.

Dear Loyal Reader, "Science" means the pursuit of knowledge. But the journey to discovery can be risky. Even the brightest minds fall prey to ego in their pursuit. The reward for making a new discovery should be the knowledge you gain. But sometimes, there's an actual prize — one that comes with status, recognition or even money. And none is more coveted than the Nobel Prize. My latest guest got swept up in its power, but he grounded himself through faith. Dr. Brian Keating lost the Nobel Prize, but he gained something more important: wisdom. And this week, Dr. Keating and I discuss the balance of knowledge and wisdom in scientific discovery and life. According to him: "We have to be careful when we try to translate one branch of knowledge and convert it into wisdom. That's very difficult and perilous to do." Hear more from our conversation, and get exclusive insights into his book, Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science's Highest Honor. CLICK HERE to listen now!
