#17: Absorbed by Awe with Kirk Schneider

The Soulspace Podcast

Kirk Schneider is a psychologist and leader within the field of Existential-Humanistic Psychology. Kirk began exploring the fundamental questions of human existence at an early age following the death of his brother. Kirk believes that one of the keys to human flourishing is through the cultivation of awe and presence - especially as we approach the AI and robotic revolution. Kirk offers his critique of mainstream cognitive behavioural therapy as he advocates for an integrative model of psychotherapy that celebrates the messiness of life. Kirk was the editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology and he is an adjust faculty at Saybrook University, Teachers College at Columbia University and the California Institute of Integral Studies. In 2004, he was presented the Rollo May Award from the American Psychological Association for his work in advancing humanistic psychology.
