In this episode, my guest is Dr. Dilip Jeste, the author of Wiser: The Scientific Roots of Wisdom, Compassion, and What Makes Us Good. Today’s episode is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite (and first) conversations on the podcast. Dr. Jeste is a neuropsychiatrist who has spent more than 20 years studying aspects of wisdom and healthy aging. He is a former Director of the Center for Healthy Aging at UC San Diego and a distinguished professor of psychiatry and neurosciences.

In the conversation, Dr. Jeste and I discuss,

  • What wisdom is and what it’s not
  • Cultivating compassion
  • Emotional regulation
  • Leveraging the wisdom of elders
  • Wisdom and loneliness and much more

Learn more about Dr. Dilip Jeste here. Consider taking the Jeste-Thomas Wisdom Index mentioned in the conversation.
