The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible | Free Book
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.
In The Press
"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
“Charles Eisenstein is a cultural investigative journalist,
questioning the perpetually unexamined assumptions of both
conventional and counter-cultural thinking. He is a cultural
storyteller, a visionary who gives us a glimpse of what the new Story
of the People may look like, how we might get there, and how close we
are to it.”
—Mark Boyle, author of The Moneyless Manifesto
“God damn this is good! This version of the big story by
Charles Eisenstein is one of the best I have ever heard. Charles, you
are speaking for millions of us and we so know what you are saying to
be true. We will absolutely tell the whole fucking world about it.”
—Brad Blanton, author of Radical Honesty
“The more beautiful world I inhabit accords with Charles Eisenstein's
vision: a world where we embrace the shadow and give it name so that
the healing can begin. Take this book and let it seep into your very
being.”
—Polly Higgins, author of Eradicating Ecocide, barrister and
earth lawyer
“This book will change your world. It is beautiful because
Charles Eisenstein has the courage to be vulnerable and it is in
acknowledging our vulnerability that we will realize our greater
humanity.”
—Revd Peter Owen-Jones, presenter of
Around the World in 80 Faiths, author, and priest
"One does not 'read' this book, but rather interacts with
it. And take heed, it will open your heart and mind, arouse ire and
derision, and change the way you think about your life. Beautifully
written, heart-warming, and thought-provoking, Eisenstein will
undoubtedly be noted in history as a pivotal storyteller."
—New Conciousness Review
Praise for Sacred Economics
"This
brilliant and beautifully written book is a must-read for all those
who believe our economic system is terminally sick and in need of
radical, sacred rehaul. I hope this book begins a serious, worldwide
conversation on how we can reinvent our attitude to money."
—Andrew Harvey, author of
The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism
Praise for The Ascent of Humanity
"Brilliant and original, with great depth of insight and
understanding. The Ascent of Humanity easily ranks with the works of
such giants of our age as David Bohm, Julian Jaynes, Jean Gebser,
Alfred North Whitehead...."
—Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of
The Crack in the Cosmic Egg
“A powerful pick for any who would combine spiritual
perspectives with social change. This book thwarts cynicism and offers
keys to connecting personal choices to powerful change. … An
uplifting, inspirational, spiritual and social examination recommended
for a wide range of readers looking for positive encouragement.”
