Defining Progress in Times of Social Upheaval with Daniel Pinchbeck | Ep. 51 CE Podcast

When looking at our global challenges and our current moment, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of it all – perhaps to an extent we do have to feel that a bit. But what happens if we took our perspectives back to first principles, back to worldview, back to wisdom and what it might mean to make progress?

Today, Joe is joined by Daniel Pinchbeck to explore the nature of our current moment and how we might respond to it from a different lens. What would it mean to truly make progress? How can we come together regardless of our differences and divisions? What role does human consciousness and trauma play in the current state of the world?
