It was moving, enlightening, thrilling... Berry Liberman in conversation with the host and creator of On Being, Krista Tippett.
Krista Tippett joins Berry Liberman to discuss the change required for a new tomorrow.
Krista Tippett is an accomplished broadcaster, author, and diplomat. Raised in a small town in Oklahoma, she embarked on a journey that led her to Cold War Berlin, where she witnessed the power of division and the resilience of the human spirit. Inspired by the need for meaningful conversations, she launched "On Being," a national radio show that has expanded to over 400 stations. Tippett's commitment to fostering understanding and healing in a fractured world gave rise to the Civil Conversations Project. Recognized for her thought-provoking work, she received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama.
“This book is for people who want to take up the great questions of our time with imagination and courage, to nurture new realities in the spaces we inhabit, and to do so expectantly and with joy.”
