A Beautiful Mess

Why do we, as mostly kind and peaceable individuals, collectively behave with such breathtaking stupidity and cruelty toward each other and our living planet? A Beautiful Mess is a profound inquiry into this paradox. Drawing on social anthropology, linguistics, science, and philosophy, author Andy Kidd provides a roadmap away from the illusion of separation and towards an unshakeable sense of interconnectedness. The book is a clarion call for sanity, proving our inescapable interdependence with all of life, and paving a pathway toward pronoia – the suspicion that everything is conspiring to help and support you. In this audiobook, read by me, 4 guided meditations are included as standalone chapters, and a companion pdf gives you Further Reading and Footnotes. Duration - 3h 20m. Author - Andy Kidd.
