0:00.0	Political tensions, anxiety, and loneliness are on the rise,
0:04.0	but problems like these aren't new, and the solutions don't have to be either.
0:08.0	For thousands of years, societies have asked questions about how to live, thrive, and love.
0:13.0	And it was spiritual traditions that offered wisdom and tools to help people find their way.
0:17.0	Tools that science is now discovering offer real benefits. Join me, Dave Dosteno, to
0:23.0	explore how we can all use this wisdom, whatever our beliefs. Listen to How God Works from PRX,
0:29.2	wherever you listen to podcasts.
0:37.4	Hello and welcome back to chutzpahd, real life lived better, where each week we apply
