Meg Wheatley - Acclaimed Author & Thought Leader

Welcome to PEACEtalks, the podcast where we explore ideas, stories, and voices that inspire peace in our lives and in the world. My name is Phil Rossner and I will be your host for this episode. Today, I honored to welcome a truly visionary guest - Margaret J. Wheatley.

Her groundbreaking books, including Leadership and the New Science, Who Do We Choose to Be?, and her latest - Restoring Sanity, all offer profound insights into creating meaningful change in turbulent times. In this conversation, we’ll explore her wisdom on peace, resilience, and what it means to lead with purpose in an ever-changing world.

Growing Up With Gurus: A Conversation With Laura Hof, Mallika Chopra, and Mark Watts

If you're into meditation, you've probably heard of Alan Watts, Wim Hof, and Deepak Chopra. Well, we've already interviewed Wim and Deepak, and Alan died before we were born. So we thought it would be fun to get their kids together to have a conversation about what it was like to grow up with world-renowned spiritual teachers as parents. This interview was used for the final piece of our new Gurus Issue (which is now available in thousands of stores across 20+ countries around the world). Introducing: Laura Hof, Mallika Chopra, and Mark Watts!"
