Riane Eisler, Creating Solutions to Care

The world works in mysterious ways.  About fifteen years ago I was introduced to the book, The Chalice and the Blade, written by Riane Eisler.  Her book left a strong impression and I believe strongly influenced the work Jesse and I are doing for women today.  

Years later, I had the privilege of interviewing Riane Eisler live on See Jane Do for KVMR's membership drive to discuss her book, The Real Wealth of Nations, Creating A Caring Economics and recent works around Partnership Politics and creating a Caring Economics. 

Through Eilser's extensive research she's concluded that the real wealth of our nation is its people, that we are at a tipping point that requires a fundamental change. 

Eisler's work has been celebrated around the globe.  She received the distinguished Peace Leadership Award in 2009 (also awarded to the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jacques Cousteau, and Helen Caldicott).  

Dr. Eisler discusses the Caring Campaign and how we can all get involved.  She also shares information about a soon to be released report by the Urban Institute and Center for Partnership Studies that encourages and documents the economic benefits of a caring nation.
