Thomas Plante: Doing the Right Thing

Thomas Plante is one of the most incredible people I have ever
met. Dr. Plante’s many titles include Augustin Cardinal Bea S.J.
University Professor at Santa Clara, adjunct clinical professor
of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University
School of Medicine, Licensed Psychologist and owner of his own
family vineyard. He has written 22 books, well over 200 journal
articles and hundreds of blog posts about heath, spirituality,
ethics, psychology for Psychology Today and the SCU Illuminate
blog. Dr. Plante has been interviewed by nearly every major
national news outlet for his research and involvement with the
wave of sexual misconduct by Catholic priests.


In this episode we cover Dr. Plante’s incredible career, how to
get more happiness (and whether that’s a goal worth shooting
for), how he thinks of topics to write about, what factors lead
to greater compassion in students and much more. I don’t like to
play favorites, but this may be one of my favorite conversations
yet, and you’re in for a real treat.
