Guests featured in this episode include social scientist, physician, and professor Nicholas Christakis, professor of Buddhism and East Asian religions Annabella Pitkin, and Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher and author Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.  Read a transcript, learn about the Rubin, donate, and more: https://rubinmuseum.org/introducing-interdependence
