Our guest today is the journalist and best-selling author Krista Tippett. Krista has her own series of podcasts from her "On Being" radio programme on NPR in the US, that stretches back 15 years. In that time Krista has interviewed a diverse array of inspirational people including scientists, theologians and artists. I talk to her about her experience of this and about her book "Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living" which draws on the wisdom of many of the people she has interviewed and is also interwoven with the story of her own spiritual journey. We discuss this through the five key topics in her book which are Words, Flesh, Love, Faith and Hope. Finally, we discuss the Middle Way and how this relates to her work.
