4/10 The Greatest Danger: The Deadening of Heart and Mind

In this episode, Joanna Tomkins delivers a weaving extracts from the second chapter of "Coming Back to Life" by Joanna Macy and Molly Young Brown. 

As Joanna Macy says: "Of all the dangers we face, from climate chaos to permanent war, none is so great as this deadening of our response. For psychic numbing impedes our capacity to process and respond to information. The energy expended in pushing down despair is diverted from more crucial uses, depleting the resilience and imagination needed for fresh visions and strategies."

In the chapter she explains the Pain for the World, What deadens our Heart and Mind and what is the Cost of Blocking our Pain for the World.

The book "Coming Back to Life" is available on all main online bookshops.
