What is a soul?

Have you ever wondered what makes you... YOU? Think about it—you’ve grown so much since you were a tiny baby, but deep down, you still feel like the exact same person! Is there an invisible, magical spark inside driving you like a pilot in a spaceship? Join Mira and Finn as they explore one of history’s greatest mysteries: What is the soul? We’ll travel back to Ancient Egypt, where people believed the soul had multiple parts, including a personality called the Ba that looked like a bird with a human head! Then, we'll fly to Ancient Greece to learn about Plato, who imagined the soul as a driver steering a chariot pulled by two flying horses! We'll also discover the beautiful Buddhist idea of anatta, which says we aren't a permanent statue, but a constantly changing, rushing river of thoughts. Plus, find out why a doctor in 1907 tried to weigh patients to see if a soul weighed exactly 21 grams! Whether you're an eternal chariot driver, a rushing river, or just a wondrous brain doing magic, get ready for a totally brain-bending adventure!
