A few months ago, Seth Godin, one of my favorite writers, wrote about HIS personal choice for book of the year. The topic was – at the time – of marginal interest but Seth rarely steers me wrong so I ordered the book. When it arrived, my first thought upon seeing the 618 pager was “ugggh – this could take awhile.” I sat down, opened it up for the first time and before even getting through the prologue, was hooked. I couldn’t set it down, recommended it to anyone who would listen, and even sketched out some concepts in my journal related to what I was reading. Today’s guest is the author of that game-changing book The Wizard and the Prophet: Charles Mann.

Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Charles Mann is the author of The Wizard and the Prophet, a fascinating portrait of the opposing worldviews guiding our relationship of our planet and our survival as our population reaches 10 billion people in our lifetime. Intriguingly, this book presents no agenda. And that’s what makes it so valuable. In addition to this masterpiece, Mr. Mann has written several other best-sellers, including another book of the year 1491, along with contributions to The Atlantic, NY Times, Vanity Fair, HBO and the TV series Law & Order.
