Episode notes

Our guest today is a legendary thinker, author, and philosopher. Ken Wilber has spent decades understanding how humans are all interconnected with each other, decoding through dozens of beautifully written books, how we fit into the greater, massive, picture that is the expanding universe. He's an absolute pioneer, a visionary, and that barely scratches the surface of his work.

He joins Dave to outline his newest book—Finding Radical Wholeness: The Integral Path to Unity, Growth, and Delights—and offers up a supporting stream of consciousness which rivals any that you’d find, on any podcast, in depth of insight and emotional impact. His words resonate with a truth and wonder which will leave you inspired from beginning to end, and well beyond.
