Now 92 and stil as passionate as ever, Dr. Laszlo describes how mainstream science is dangerously flawed. Our primary topic of discussion is attractors; which has the potential to be the Copernican moment for Western culture. Laszlo has pioneered the scientific acceptance of the “holotropic attractor.”1 In his latest (free) book Our Sacred Mission he describes this as “a force that orients interactions in the universe towards the formation of complex and coherent systems.”

In our short 25 minute conversation Dr. Laszlo described why it’s of urgent societal importance and massive personal benefit for us to align with this force.

Psychotherapist, author, mythologist and close associate of the legendary Joseph Campbell, Dr. Stephen Larsen shared his understanding of the secrets revealed by human myth.

Our first episode explores the practical acquisition of expertise. I haven’t encountered anyone better than Cedric Chin on this topic. Both wisdom and expertise mean knowing what’s most important at any single moment in time, even in hyper complex and dynamic environments. In the real world, this looks like "expert intuition." Cedric’s work, especially around Cognitive Flexibility Theory (CFT), has been instrumental in showing how you acquire expert intuition, therefore it also provides deep insights into how to become wise. I would define Cedric’s entire genre as asking: “sounds clever on paper, does it work in practice?” CFT has worked repeatedly in his own life, and he’s successfully tested it on more than a hundred of his readers.

Cedric has generously produced a new presentation specifically on this topic for the launch of The Leading Edge.
