About this listen

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.

One of the best books I have read and will keep coming back to.
There is much here which is new knowledge and insights.
The idea of finding wholeness and coming back to self is uplifting.
It reminds us that wholeness of spirit and body carries us through ups and downs.
New insights on head and gut also reminds us that living with our whole body is part of the full experience.
Beautifully written and and read in poetic way by Philip Shepherd!
Thank you 🙏

Marvellous life changing book,

Radical Wholeness is a beautifully written book. The author and narrator, Philip Shepherd, delivers the best narration I’ve had the pleasure of listening to in years. His views on the cosmos, life, consciousness, sentience and what it means to be a human being are very challenging to the scientific status quo but he delivers such a well articulated argument that it will be fascinating to see how, or if, he can be effectively refuted. His philosophy is backed up by his own personal experience of being born into Western Culture as well as drawing upon many fascinating examples gleaned during a lifetime of research into other cultures, past and present, who did or still do perceive what it means to be a human being very differently to what is currently thought in the West. Not only does Shepherd explain his very exciting and hopeful philosophy very well, very persuasively but explains, instructs, how one can go about actually experiencing it. For many, this book will be life changing. It may well be a seed for causing a complete reawakening of Western Culture. I hope so!

Best narrator I’ve heard in years of listening.

The author takes us on a curious adventure as he chooses the different path. All he has is his bike, mindfulness, empathy and a drive to live an authentic life where he can reconnect and be with the environment . In the context of living in my first pandemic and pathetically observing what is happening in Ukraine, I found this book provoking, refreshing and calming.

Permission to be.
