8: Psychosynthetist Dr. Piero Ferrucci

Fellini, our need for beauty, and the connections between neuroscience and the inner experience.

In this episode, I talk to psychotherapist and philosopher Piero Ferrucci, the nephew of Aldous Huxley and a student and collaborator of Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli, the founder of psychosynthesis.
