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 “The Coronation,” “The Ascent of Humanity,” “Sacred Economics,” “The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible,” and “Climate—A New Story.” 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 “Living Planet” 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  Indigenous knowledge of landscape management  The understanding of what real wealth is The differences between control and responsibility  The Importance of exercising our capacity to create The growing community and movement of regenerative farmers To learn more about Charles Eisenstein and his work, please visit his website at https://charleseisenstein.org/ or subscribe to his substack at https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/  To learn more about his published work, please visit https://charleseisenstein.org/books/  About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).
