Description

"In a time of mounting chaos and crumbling institutions, how can we as individuals do anything to make the world a better place? This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what's true- We are all connected, all living in mutual symbiosis, and the small, personal choices we make as individuals are far more effective and transformational than most of us imagine. By fully embracing and practicing this principle of interconnectedness--called interbeing--we inherently become more effective agents of change and have far more positive influence on the world around us.

He brings to conscious awareness a deep wisdom we all innately know- until we get our selves in order, any action we take--no matter how goo

Reviews

"It is rare to find, in such digestible portions, so rich a feast for mind and heart." --Joanna Macy, author of "Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We're in without Going Crazy" "When I read Charles Eisenstein I felt as if I had just put on an extraordinarily clear, lucid, morally honest set of glasses. I see my outer and inner worlds in penetrating detail. He isn't just describing a possible world. He is helping us find our way to it." --Vicki Robin, author of "Your Money or Your Life" "Charles Eisenstein is a cultural investigative journalist, questioning the perpetually unexamined assumptions of both conventional and counter-cultural thinking.

We will absolutely tell the whole fucking world about it."--Brad Blanton, author of "Radical Honesty" "The more beautiful world I inhabit accords with Charles Eisenstein's vision: a world where we embrace the shadow and give it name so that the healing can begin. Take this book and let it seep into your very being."--Polly Higgins, author of "Eradicating Ecocide," barrister and earth lawyer "This book will change your world. It is beautiful because Charles Eisenstein has the courage to be vulnerable and it is in acknowledging our vulnerability that we will realize our greater humanity."--Revd Peter Owen-Jones, presenter of "Around the World in 80 Faiths," author, and priest" " Praise for Charles Eisenstein "I consider Charles Eisenstein one of the up-and-coming great minds of our time. Rarely have I met a person who combines s
