My guest this week is Dr Ervin Laszlo, a philosopher and systems scientist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, founder and president of the international think tank The Club of Budapest, and author, co-author or editor of 106 books, including The Upshift. Listen to Ervin talk about: 

• Why we are at a chaos point in society – and how that represents a positive evolutionary opportunity
• What Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine and other great disruptions could mean from a systems change perspective
• How holism is a key organising principle in nature and society – and how this links to a higher purpose or spiritual force
• Why he is inviting us to join the upshift movement, a grassroots based international and intercultural movement dedicated to building a better world
• What hopeful monsters are – and why they are necessary antidotes to the forces of aggression and breakdown in society
