Episode Details

The world is in a bad way. I don’t care what your political beliefs are, it’s hard to look around and deny that something is going wrong – that it has been for a while. Charles Eisenstein has undergone a radical awakening in his life. The truths he was opened up to have proven to be so profound that he’s spent much of his life, since, trying to disseminate them to the rest of the world. At the core of it, is the idea that the systems that make up our society all have a deep, shared flaw that’s permeated every aspect of modern civilization. We question the need for progress through control, how political paradigms have shifted into polar opposites, and finding strength in letting go and admitting when you’re wrong. It’s a powerful and enlightening conversation that I certainly needed. Enjoy.
