The Common Good podcast is a conversation about the significance of place, eliminating economic isolation and structures of belonging.  This episode is the Abundant Community Conversation from September 14 where Troy Bronsink speaks with David Brooks and Peter Block about David’s new book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. This event was produced in partnership with Designed Learning, Faith Matters Network, Abundant Community and Common Change. These conversations happen on Zoom and they always contain poetry, small groups and an exploration of a particular theme.

The next conversation is on October 26 with Parker Palmer. You can register here.

The recited excerpts came from Reverend Ben McBride's book, Troubling the Water: The Urgent Work of Radical Belonging. You can also check out our previous conversation with Ben here.

Peter also has a new book coming out in November that you can pre-order now. It's called Activating the Common Good: Reclaiming Control of Our Collective Well-Being.

This episode was produced by Joey Taylor and the music is from Jeff Gorman. You can find more information about the Common Good Collective here. Common Good Podcast is a production of Bespoken Live & Common Change - Eliminating Personal Economic Isolation.
