Hazel Henderson on the Essential Shifts

(5 ratings)

Renowned futurist Hazel Henderson offers her insights on the most essential shifts of today in this dialogue with Matthew Gilbert. She believes that the "root shift" is a global mind change – a tipping point of greater awareness - which manifests in everything from how we invest our money to how we transport ourselves. She reflects on the rise of global opinion as a superpower, the importance of reforming our media, and the shift to seeing sustainability as the most pragmatic choice. She is quite hopeful about the changes already happening, as well as those that will be catalyzed with the emergence of more supportive networks for grass roots social entrepreneurs. She weaves an inspiring story that includes the power of the Internet, the efficiencies of the market, and the science of oneness. She sees the stress that comes from meeting our global challenges as "evolution’s tool", calling us to move forward with innovative and practical solutions.
