Description

Original Air Date: May 6, 2020 Oprah Winfrey talks with Dr. Alan Lightman, an MIT professor of humanities, physicist and best-selling author.

He discusses why he believes the COVID-19 pandemic offered us an opportunity to lead a less hurried life. He shares why stillness is so important to our daily lives and explains how our country now has a chance to nurture what he calls its “inner self.” Dr. Lightman also discusses his article “The Virus Is a Reminder of Something Lost Long Ago,” published in The Atlantic.
