The heart of her work on her national public radio program and podcast, \u003cem\u003eOn Being\u003c\/em\u003e, has been to shine a light on people whose insights kindle in us a sense of wonder and courage. Scientists in a variety of fields; theologians from an array of faiths; poets, activists, and many others have all opened themselves up to Tippett's compassionate yet searching conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eBecoming Wise\u003c\/em\u003e, Tippett distills the insights she has gleaned from this luminous conversation in its many dimensions into a coherent narrative journey, over time and from mind to mind. The book is a master class in living, curated by Tippett and accompanied by a delightfully ecumenical dream team of teaching faculty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe open questions and challenges of our time are intimate and civilizational all at once, Tippett says—definitions of when life begins and when death happens, of the meaning of community and family and identity, of our relationships to technology and through technology. The wisdom we seek emerges through the raw materials of the everyday. And the enduring question of what it means to be human has now become inextricable from the question of who we are to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a grounded and fiercely hopeful vision of humanity for this century—of personal growth but also renewed public life and human spiritual evolution. It insists on the possibility of a common life for this century marked by resilience and redemption, with beauty as a core moral value and civility and love as muscular practice. Krista Tippett's great gift, in her work and in \u003cem\u003eBecoming Wise\u003c\/em\u003e, is to avoid reductive simplifications but still find the golden threads that weave people and ideas together into a shimmering braid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne powerful common denominator of the lessons imparted to Tippett is the gift of presence, of the exhilaration of engagement with life for its own sake, not as a means to an end. But presence does not mean passivity or acceptance of the status quo. Indeed, Tippett and her teachers are people whose work meets, and often drives, powerful forces of change alive in the world today. In the end, perhaps the greatest blessing conveyed by the lessons of spiritual genius Tippett harvests in \u003cem\u003eBecoming Wise\u003c\/em\u003e is the strength to meet the world where it really is, and then to make it better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423832424684,"sku":"9781472152206","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781472152206.jpg?v=1774769834"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/krista-tippett.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
