The Returners Series | Peter Rollins

From LA to philosophy in NI

Peter Rollins is a Freelance Philosopher who grew up in East Belfast. Training as a philosopher and using philosophy and psychoanalytic theory to explore how to live well led him to writing his first book and touring across America.

When the opportunity arose to live and work there, he didn't exactly jump at the chance! However, he ended up staying in America for 15 years! 

Watch his interview on why he made the decision to return to Norther Ireland to recharge his batteries and to be around like-minded people.

Hear his reason why he loves Northern Ireland...

 

We’re all in it together and I love that!
