Parker Palmer: Healing the Heart of Democracy
With Chris Wahl and Kate Ebner
At a time when so many have lost faith in our political institutions, Parker Palmer, founder of the Center for Courage and Renewal, shows us how to expand our capacities to lead in the 21st century. Author of nine books, including three bestsellers - The Courage to Teach, Let Your Life Speak and A Hidden Wholeness - Palmer guides us to cultivate five habits of the heart that will help restore the hidden infrastructure of American politics. Join Guest Host Chris Wahl and Kate Ebner for a moving conversation about moving beyond "the politics of the brokenhearted" to restore democracy as "an opening to a new life for us and for our nation." Recipient of 11 honorary doctorates, numerous national awards, including the William Rainey Harper Award, previously won by Elie Wiesel and Margaret Mead, Parker Palmer's life work has been to illuminate the possibilities inherent in life and call forth in us the courage to contribute to a better world.

This week, the esteemed meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg joined Kate on Visionary Leader, Extraordinary Life to talk about how mindfulness can help people gain greater happiness at work. Sharon's newly published book on the subject, Real Happiness at Work: Meditations for Accomplishment, Achievement, and Peace grew out of her observation of the members of her online community: the majority of the challenges to their happiness were due to work.
