\nI was so excited for this interview with Charles Eisenstein.
\nAfter spending the last few days really diving into his work in preparation to talk with him, I woke up at 5am this morning my heart and mind just aflame with inspiration.\xa0
\nI love what Charles is speaking into the world through his books, his articles, his live presentations. Apparently so does Oprah Winfrey, who recently released her own podcast interview with Charles.\xa0
\nCharles\u2019 core message \u2013 as I experience it \u2013 is the acknowledgment of what the great Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh calls our \u201cinterbeing\u201d \u2026 the awareness and practice of our connectedness to all things, and to each other \u2026 what I love in particular about Charles\u2019 work, is he brings that beautiful spiritual notion down to earth in ways us humans can actually work with in our everyday lives and relationships. Charles is a brilliant mind connected to a deeply inspired heart, all held inside the sturdy bones of a grounded and humble man. He graduated from Yale University with degrees in mathematics and philosophy, and is the author of 5 books, including The Ascent of Humanity and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible.\xa0
\nI decided during our conversation to make this part 1 of our exploration together \u2013 and he agreed \u2013 because there is so much in his deep ocean of wisdom I\u2019m eager to explore, and even 60 minutes in I felt like I was still just doggy paddling on the surface. I truly believe this man offers some of the most crucial insights to assist humanity through the challenging transition we\u2019re now clearly going through, and so I encourage you strongly to stay tuned all the way through to Charles\u2019 5 Key Takeaway’s at the end of this episode of Men, This Way \u2026\xa0
