John Sexton

New York University President John Sexton talks about how baseball can be used to illustrate the elements of a spiritual life--the subject of his popular course at NYU. In his new book Baseball as a Road to God, he shows that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to a deeper and more meaningful life.

New York University president John Sexton was on the Leonard Lopate Show recently to talk about how he uses baseball as a metaphor for spirituality in his course, which has become one of the most popular on campus. He also told us what he's been listening to -- it's quite a mix!
