Charles Eisenstein is a speaker, teacher, and author. A graduate of Yale University with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, his work covers various topics, including human civilization, economics, spirituality, and ecology. His published works include \\u201cThe Coronation,\\u201d \\u201cThe Ascent of Humanity,\\u201d \\u201cSacred Economics,\\u201d \\u201cThe More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible,\\u201d and \\u201cClimate\\u2014A New Story.\\u201d In the last-mentioned title, he argues that reducing environmental discourse into the single issue of global warming is a huge mistake for the environmental movement. The book focuses instead on the \\u201cLiving Planet\\u201d view, envisioning what our relationship to nature might be if we saw that everything is alive, conscious, and sacred. Overall, his primary interest is exploring the boundaries of what is possible according to our received beliefs, habits, technologies, and ways of knowing.

In this conversation, John and Charles discuss:

  • What defines regeneration

  • What we need to do to embrace regenerative landscapes

  • Why the quality of our life depends on the quality of our relationships\\xa0

  • Indigenous knowledge of landscape management\\xa0

  • The understanding of what real wealth is

  • The differences between control and responsibility\\xa0

  • The Importance of exercising our capacity to create

  • The growing community and movement of regenerative farmers
