Creating a World That Can Hold Everyone with Holly Whitaker

Joining me for the second episode is Holly Whitaker, a dear friend whose luminous mind lights up our conversation today.

Holly is the NYT bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman, the founder of Tempest Recovery, and the author of the Recovering newsletter. This is a far-reaching conversation that seeks to unravel the complexities of the current era, aiming to foster a deeper understanding of the world we inhabit. Topics include:

Information overload, collective insanity, and the leading edge of culture
How easy it is to make snap judgments in our online climate
How we have reached the limit of critique and tearing things down (postmodern deconstructionism)
A primer on the philosophy of metamodernism, which seeks to build something innovative and healing
Finding comfort in uncertainty and holding multiple truths at once
Humility, redemption, and the living practice of a love ethic
How everyone can benefit from applying the principles of recovery
How “sensemaking” demands a feminine touch infused with more heart and love
