    How do we show mercy in the digital age when we are so separated from each other and only interact with many people over social media? Dr Brent Robbins and I talk about the history of the psychological study of mercy and we talk about how we can show mercy to others, especially when how they see the seem to be diametrically opposed to our own views. Showing mercy in the digital age can be very difficult, how can we do it?

    In this episode, Dr. Brent Robbins and I dive deeper into his work researching joy, or finding “the good life”. We go into the 4 kinds of joy and the existential tradition behind the modern understanding of what joy is. We get deep and nerdy about joy, but in the end try to find out where true joy comes from. We also see the four kinds of seeking joy in the great movie Groundhog Day. Dr Brent Robbins works at

    Park Place University.

    Dr Brent Robbins was an Atheist when he studied psychology in graduate school. In evaluating patients, instead of hearing them talk about mental issues, many of them used language like they were lacking joy and meaning in their life, using transcendent language. This confused him at the time, but now makes more sense to him as a Catholic. Dr Robbins shares with us his journey in studying and practicing psychology and how it led him to his research in joy.
