Summary

A New York Times best seller!

I'm not sure there's such a thing as the cultural 'centre', nor that it's very interesting if it exists. But left of centre and right of centre, in the expansive middle and heart of our life together, most of us have some questions left alongside our answers, some curiosity alongside our convictions. This book is for people who want to take up the great questions of our time with imagination and courage, to nurture new realities in the spaces we inhabit, and to do so expectantly and with joy.

In Becoming Wise, Krista Tippett has created a master class in living for a fractured world. Fracture, she says, is not the whole story of our time. The enduring question of what it means to be human has become inextricable from the challenge of who we are to one another. She insists on the possibility of personal depth and common life for this century, nurtured by science and 'spiritual technologies', with civility and love as muscular public practice. And, accompanied by a cross-disciplinary dream team of a teaching faculty, she shows us how.

Wise words indeed

What a tear to revisit some of ‘On Being’ curated and so wisely discussed by Krista. A book I shall return to over and over again.
