Summary

As seen on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday

A beacon of hope in the face of our current world crises, this uplifting book demonstrates how embracing our interconnectedness is key to world transformation

In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do to make the world a better place? This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what’s true: we are all connected, and our small, personal choices bear unsuspected transformational power. By fully embracing and practicing this principle of interconnectedness—called interbeing—we become more effective agents of change and have a stronger positive influence on the world.

Throughout the book, Eisenstein relates real-life stories showing how small, individual acts of courage, kindness, and self-trust can change our culture’s guiding narrative of separation, which, he shows, has generated the present planetary crisis. He brings to conscious awareness a deep wisdom we all innately know: until we get ourselves in order, any action we take—no matter how good our intentions—will ultimately be wrong-headed and wrong-hearted. Above all, Eisenstein invites us to embrace a radically different understanding of cause and effect, sounding a clarion call to surrender our old worldview of separation, so that we can finally create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

With chapters covering separation, interbeing, despair, hope, pain, pleasure, consciousness, and many more, the book invites us to let the old Story of Separation fall away so that we can stand firmly in a Story of Interbeing.

Critic reviews

"This is a revolutionary and interactive book—in the sense that it inspires the reader to think out of the ordinary. Eisenstein will be noted in antiquity as one of the seminal and pioneering storytellers of this new world."Publishers Weekly Starred Review

“It is rare to find, in such digestible portions, so rich a feast for mind and heart."—Joanna Macy, author of Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We're in without Going Crazy

“When I read Charles Eisenstein I felt as if I had just put on an extraordinarily clear, lucid, morally honest set of glasses. I see my outer and inner worlds in penetrating detail. He isn't just describing a possible world. He is helping us find our way to it.”—Vicki Robin, author of Your Money or Your Life

Watch yourself, change yourself, change the world

This book was not what I initially expected but I enjoyed it thoroughly. It has given me a framework to observe and question all my assumptions about who and what I am, how the world works, and if reality even exists. By loosening our grip on absolutes, on what we tell ourself to believe, it creates space for a new narrative, a new story of a world that we actually want to participate in. If like me you're put off at first by the narrators voice I urge you to pay on and you will forget it was ever a issue.

Off the scale! Mind blowing read!

A really grounded, well researched, carefully thought out and beautifully written masterpiece! I’d say it is light years ahead of it’s time but I choose it not to be!

Thank you

I was crying at the end. Never have I thought that a piece of literature could touch me so deeply. I don’t exactly know why I was crying but I’m glad I did. Much Love.

Meh

I personally felt like the performance had no flow. I love Eisenstein's work but I think I'd get this one in a hard copy if you're interested.

One of the best

Definitely ranking high among the best books I’ve ever read. I enjoyed listening to it and now, on the day the audiobook finished, my print copy arrived 😀

No stone left unturned....

A powerful book that doesn't pull any cognitive punches.
Fearless and unapologetic, this is akin to a good spring clean of all those dark musty places we tend to commonly avoid. Charles Eisenstein has nailed it!

Excellent expansive perspective on the world

This book takes a massive, complex and frankly heartbreaking subject and breaks it down into digestible and most importantly uplifting chunks. It's lucid and compelling, and frequently stopped me in my tracks and brought me to tears. A more beautiful world IS possible.
