A Golden Civilization
CJ Liu interviews George Kinder on his book “A Golden Civilization and The Map of Mindfulness.” George shares how the financial crises in 2008 was a catalyst for writing his book. The key concepts that the book is anchored on is the “Map of Mindfulness.”
CJ asks George to explain this map and how it related to creating a golden civilization. There are several levers that George believes are needed to have a thriving civilization. These levers are freedom of speech, freedom of press, truth, transparency, and accuracy. George explains why these are relevant.
Last, George shares the process he developed as a financial planner that he calls Life Planning. It’s a plan we create so that we don’t hold back from doing the things that inspire us. George steps us through the “visioning” process and how you can convene your own group and participate in creating your ideal vision of the world. While we can strive to create a better world, CJ asks George about the idea of acceptance and how that aligns with striving for a better world.
