Synopsis

There are qualities we all yearn to experience in our lives—peace, simplicity, grace, connection, clarity. Yet these qualities evade us because each of them arises from an experience of wholeness, and we live in a culture that enforces divisions within each of us. In Radical Wholeness, Philip Shepherd shows the countless ways in which we are persuaded to separate from the body and live in the head. Disconnected from the body’s intelligence, we also disconnect from the wholeness of the present. This schism within us is the primary source of stress not just in our personal lives, but for the systems of the planet.Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physics, the arts, myth, personal stories, and his experiences helping people around the world to experience wholeness, Philip Shepherd illuminates what true wholeness means and offers practices designed to help listeners soften into the intelligence of the body. Radical Wholeness is a call to action: to recover wholeness and experience a new way of being.

Goodreads review by Gary

Fans of Philip Shepherd will love this book. Buy it and read no further. His writing and his thinking have clearly reached a level of clarity few of us will ever attain. As the title suggests, however, his model of being and the universe is radical, to say the least. That doesn’t make it wrong, of c......more

Radical Wholeness is a gem of a read. Shepherd's skill as a story teller, researcher and embodiment teacher come together to gently guide us to a new way of looking at the world and our ways of perceiving. The book is full of examples of ways of seeing that are top-down and entrenched in a division,......more

Goodreads review by Max

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I connected with this book on a deep level. After discovering “wholeness” as a core value of mine while reading Brene Brown’s “Dare to Lead,” I found this book and decided to read it. This book is so amazingly subversive to American/western culture and......more
