Produced, co-founded and hosted by Karen O'Leary, "The Quest" is a television talk show with thought leaders and visionaries in the realms of religion, education, social work, philanthropy, psychology, spirituality and bioethics. In its initial year, "The Quest" was reviewed in the press as a program that resembles Bill Moyers' PBS series on mythology and the hero's journey with Joseph Campbell.
Cultivating cultural and cosmic heroism, leadership, integrity, commitment, justice and charity are chief goals for the program. It was also created to promote understanding among diverse faith traditions and inspire in viewers a deeper understanding of and commitment to their own beliefs.
