How to Stay Human in an Inhumane Era? An Interview with Professor Alexander Asmolov
At the end of 2019, we recorded an interview with Moscow State University psychology professor Alexander Asmolov, in which we discussed a wide range of topics: how to live in a modern world of uncertainty, human fears, the meaning of life and happiness, individuality and conformity.
Then came that same global uncertainty—the COVID-19 pandemic—and our conversation became even more relevant.
Several years have passed, but this interview, amid all the catastrophic events in the world, remains relevant and even more relevant.
Watch it if you haven't seen it yet; you might find answers to the questions you're asking yourself.
