The author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate self
Our disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them. It has fired our near-pathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse.
Fortunately, an Age of Reunion is emerging out of the birth pangs of an earth in crisis. Our journey of separation hasn't been a terrible mistake but an evolutionary process and an adventure in self-discovery.
Even in our darkest hour, Eisenstein sees the possibility of a more beautiful world---not through the extension of millennia-old methods of management and control but by fundamentally reimagining ourselves and our systems. We must shift away from our Babelian efforts to build ever-higher towers to heaven and instead turn out attention to creating a new kind of civilization---one designed for beauty rather than height.
Biography
Charles Eisenstein, geboren 1967, graduierte an der renommierten Universität in Yale in Philosophie und Mathematik. Unbefriedigt von der kompetitiven Struktur der Wirtschafts- und Arbeitswelt, arbeitete und lebte er lange Zeit als Dolmetscher in Taiwan. Persönliche, spirituelle und globale Krisensituationen führten ihn zu einer intensiven Beschäftigung mit der Body-Mind-Medizin und -Philosophie. Heute präsentiert er seine Visionen als gefragter Vortragsredner, veranstaltet Seminare, verfasst Essays sowie Bücher zu neuen Wirtschafts- und Lebensformen.
