Loved the intro language to each chapter but the interviews got a bit tiresome. ( ) More than quotes from Tippett's wonderful podcast (she's an excellent interviewer of all sorts of people, the sort of interviewer who is clearly prepared and listens well), this book also touches on her past and on her strivings to live a good life. Those who read Brain Pickings online would like this book. I would counsel taking this book in small bites. I read through it quickly and was a bit overwhelmed by the volume of insightful discussions. Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living by Krista Tippett, award winning creator of the podcast On Being, is a distillation of her conversations centered on five facets of life – words, flesh, love, faith, and hope. I find my reason for recommending it within the book itself. "Taking in the good, whenever and wherever we find it, gives us new eyes for seeing and living."

In a thoughtful chronicle of spiritual discovery, Peabody Award–winning broadcaster Tippett (Einstein’s God: Conversations About Science and the Human Spirit, 2010, etc.), host of NPR’s On Being, draws on conversations with poets, scientists, theologians, and other seekers of truth. The author focuses on five concepts—words, flesh, love, faith, and hope—that she identifies as “raw materials” for the “superstar virtues” of “love, compassion [and] forgiveness.” Those virtues are undermined, she writes, by public discourse that “inclines toward despair,” fueled by journalism exposing only “what is inadequate, corrupt, catastrophic, and failing.” “Our world,” she counters, “is abundant with quiet, hidden lives of beauty and courage and goodness.” Tippett advocates “generous listening,” which she describes as “a willingness to be surprised, to let go of assumptions and take in ambiguity” in order to generate salient questions that may elicit “honesty and eloquence.”
In Becoming Wise, Tippett distills the insights she has gleaned from her public radio program and podcast "On Being." This book offers a grounded and fiercely hopeful vision of humanity for this century--of personal growth but also renewed public life and human spiritual evolution. Tippett has interviewed the most extraordinary voices examining the great questions of meaning for our time. Here, she distills the insights she has gleaned from these luminous conversations into a coherent narrative journey, over time and from mind to mind. The enduring question of what it means to be human has now become inextricable from the question of who we are to each other. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
