TOP POINTS FROM THE EPISODE:
The big idea: Today, millions are living in what could be described as a state of spiritual famine. Many are no longer involved in the religious practice or find that religion fails to provide the spiritual nourishment they crave. Spiritual famine usually goes undiagnosed, yet it's no less painful than physical famine, causing symptoms that range from anxiety and depression to addiction and violence.
