Today’s Life Question of the Week asks how can one stop being anxious over the idea of losing one’s beloved elderly parents and aging pet after experiencing the loss of their dear brother a few years ago. Next, Michael welcomes world-renowned philosopher, systems scientist, author of over 101 books and 400 articles and research papers, and the founder and president of The Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research, Ervin Laszlo.  In this insightful and evocative conversation, Michael and Ervin discuss the work of The Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research and its focus on developing a new consciousness around how to create peace in the world; plus Ervin’s work with The Upshift Movement which connects individuals from around the world to participate in projects that look for new ways to address the challenges facing humanity and the planet through shifting our paradigms around the true nature of humans and the Universe from the old (competition, separation, randomness) to the new (cooperative, unitive, intentional, integrative) based on love, compassion, and self-awareness.    Learn more about Ervin Laszlo at https://ervinlaszlobooks.com/, join The Upshift Movement at https://worldupshift.org/, and dig more into Laszlo’s work plus catch his podcast, The Dawn of a New Era, here: https://thelaszloinstitute.com/.    For practical spiritual insight and encouragement around relationships, finances, health, life purpose, or in understanding world events, submit your Life Question of The Week, to podcast@michaelbbeckwith.com.    And remember to subscribe/follow and set an alert to receive notifications each Wednesday when new episodes are available!
