Russell Brand thinks laughter is a door to a higher truth.  In our conversation, we explore how humor changed his life and how it can help us all alter our perceptions of reality.  As Russell charts his path from addiction to a more mindful approach to his life, we discuss love and acceptance, oblivion and transcendence, and how to see ourselves in this world more clearly.  Join me for a fun, and serious, discussion with a particularly enlightened comedian.
