Prof. Galen Watts recently appeared on CBC Radio’s IDEAS program

Prof. Galen Watts, the Sociologist and author of the book "The Spiritual Turn: The Religion of the Heart and the Making of Romantic Liberal Modernity." recently appeared on CBC Radio’s IDEAS program to discuss his research on modern spirituality, particularly the concept of “follow your heart” as a form of religion. In the episode titled “Why 'follow your heart' spirituality is actually religion,” Watts explores how traditional religious institutions have declined in Canada, while a growing number of people now identify as “spiritual” rather than “religious”.
