The Secret to a Meaningful Lent (and a Meaningful Life)

by Arthur C. Brooks

Are you ready to start Lent strong this Ash Wednesday? In this conversation, Fr. Columba Jordan is joined by Dr. Arthur Brooks as they discuss the science of Lent, exploring how suffering can be sacred, how doing hard things gives our life meaning, and the intersection between metacognition and prayer.

Dr. Arthur Brooks explains what is happening on a physical level when we fast, the psychological benefits of the Examen prayer, and how Lent might be exactly what we need as we pursue happy and holy lives.
