In Episode 6, Dr. Persaud discusses desires, money, and love from the perspectives of modern psychological research, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Oftentimes, people have a relationship with money that ranges from overly rigid and fearful to addicted and boundaryless. People often find speaking about both sex and money as taboo for a reason: they both have to do with our relationship with our desires. Dr. Persaud explains what a capitalistic relationship with love and money really entails, what the sources of addiction are, and why desire is not the root of suffering according to Eastern philosophical traditions.
