Krista Tippett is a great listener. As host of NPR’s “On Being,” she has facilitated conversations with thinkers from a variety of spiritual and philosophical perspectives, never imposing herself but drawing out her guests.
With Becoming Wise, Tippett gives herself an opportunity to speak her mind—and does so with a soft-spoken breadth of understanding in keeping with the tone of her program.
