BrainWave: The Satyagraha Synapse with bestselling author Mark Kurlansky and neurologist Michael Meaney

Are we genetically predisposed to violence? Or are there other emotional forces at work that we are only now coming to understand? Mark Kurlansky, bestselling author of Cod and Salt and now of Nonviolence: Twenty-five Lessons From the History of a Dangerous Idea, exchanges ideas with neurologist Michael Meaney on the psychology of nonviolence to mark the new production of Philip Glass’s opera Satyagraha at the Metropolitan Opera.
