In our near-dystopian society, progress is measured by power. Dominance over nature, animals, and fellow humans has become synonymous with development. But is humanity's desire to ascend necessarily evil?
In this episode, the great philosopher Charles Eisenstein joins me for a paradigm-shifting conversation. We immerse into the most daunting social and spiritual crises we face today and discuss why acquiring more power, money, wealth, and control isn't the way out. Also, we go into the power of narratives in influencing culture, how to redefine progress to honor our oneness with nature, the true purpose of wealth, and what it means to live a genuinely good life.
Charles Eisenstein is an intellectual, teacher, public speaker, and author of numerous essays and books, including "Sacred Economics," "Climate—A New Story," and "The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible."
What we discuss:
00:00 - Introduction to Charles Eisenstein
2:30 - Why global problems aren't a matter of good vs. evil
8:00 - Using narrative as a form of power

How can you transform pain into power, heal from a traumatic past, and live happier than ever? #1 New York Times best-selling author Gabby Bernstein joins me in this eye-opening episode to tell us the way.
Life is a journey of unlearning fear and remembering love, but fear often ruins our ability to love and be happy. Gabby says we can still reverse that if we're willing to do the work.
Here, she lays out the transformational practices that will guide you through your journey to recovery and freedom, from whatever it is that steals your joy. She talks about the therapy that changed her life, why you need to "move through" all the sensations you feel instead of only "getting past" them, and how to handle your psychological triggers masterfully. We also touch on topics like shame, attachment theories, and the scariest of them all...falling in love.
Gabby Bernstein is a spiritual teacher, self-help guru, sought-after motivational speaker, and best-selling author of 9 books.
