Channel: The Shift Report
Evidence of a World Transforming
Hosted by Shift Magazine Editor-in-Chief Matthew Gilbert
The evidence is compelling that the arc of modern human existence is going through a difficult and uncertain transition, driven by breakdowns in old worldviews and the emergence of new ones. Foundational changes are occurring across a wide spectrum of industries and fields of study, from medicine and business to education and politics. Many of these shifts were captured in the Institute’s acclaimed reports, The 2007 Shift Report: Evidence of a World Transforming and The 2008 Shift Report: Changing the Story of Our Future. Each one described how the assumptions we make about who we are and how reality works drive the choices we make, individually as well as collectively. Those assumptions are now changing, sparked by the intersection of new scientific research and the re-emergence of ancient wisdom.
In this series we will dialogue with a variety of voices at the leading edge of these foundational changes, who will discuss how we are just beginning to tap into our potential as human beings despite, or perhaps because of, the multiple crises that we are facing. Are we on the precipice of an Age of Re-Enlightenment? Tune in and find out!
