As we continue our journey through International Book Month, today’s episode is inspired by Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, a novel that explores the interconnectedness of all human lives, across time and space. International Book Month encourages us to think deeply about the stories we read and the lessons they offer. In Mitchell’s work, we are reminded that our actions, both large and small, have a ripple effect that transcends our immediate experience.

David Mitchell, born in 1969, is known for his complex narratives and masterful ability to weave together different timelines and characters. Cloud Atlas (2004) is one of his most celebrated works, exploring the idea of reincarnation, moral responsibility, and the ways in which people’s lives intersect across centuries. The novel encourages readers to consider the lasting impact of their choices on both themselves and the world around them.

In this episode, we explore the concept of karma and how our actions shape our future. Drawing on Mitchell’s themes, we discuss how everything we do—whether a kindness or a wrongdoing—has lasting effects. Listeners are invited to reflect on the ways they interact with others and to become more mindful of their behavior, knowing that each action contributes to the broader tapestry of life. By understanding the power of connection, we can be more intentional in creating a positive impact in the world.
