No Strong Belief
(2011-11-22)
(RIPR) - When we began this series in 2007, we invited listeners to tell us about their core beliefs and the passions that shape their lives. Since then, we've heard hundreds of profound insights about what matters most to NPR listeners, about the values that give their lives meaning and purpose. And wouldn't you know it, we had to wait for a 14 year-old, Nat Deacon, to remind us that our most cherished beliefs sometimes can lead to big trouble -- that, perhaps, there's something to be said for not having strong beliefs.

Nat Deacon is an eighth grader at the Gordon School in East Providence, Rhode Island. He has lived in New York, New Orleans, Austin, Texas, Denver, and, most recently, Rhode Island. Many of Nat's friends know him as "Wheels."
