In this episode of The Mindful Paths podcast, hosts Nick and Hari delve into the profound question: "What is truth?" Using the backdrop of the US election, they explore how personal beliefs, political narratives, and societal influences shape our understanding of reality.

Through candid reflections and philosophical insights, they challenge the notion of absolute truth, unraveling the layers of perception that define how we view the world.

From the relativity of scientific facts to the power of language in shaping political discourse, Nick and Hari unpack the complexities of navigating truth in a world rife with misinformation and bias. They draw from personal experiences, social experiments, and even Einstein’s theories to explore why truth feels more elusive than ever. Whether it's the role of hope, the danger of echo chambers, or the impact of herd mentality, this episode offers a deep dive into how we construct, defend, and adapt our truths.

Tune in for a journey that will challenge your perspectives, inspire curiosity, and encourage you to question the narratives you hold dear.
