Now available online – Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell discuss the wider implications of the human givens approach

This inspiring conversation between two eminent practial thinkers is guaranteed to give any open-minded person pause for thought. Topics covered include:

• The physical and emotional needs that nature programmed us with (and that we ignore at our peril)
• The guidance systems that help us get these needs met
• The power of expectation and the terrible consequences when the brain cannot distinguish between real and imagined ones
• Why we need to educate our children in tune with the way nature intended
• How the application of HG ideas could lower the dangerously high emotional temperature of society and help stabilise stressed communities, curb the greed that is eating up the planet's resources and defuse fanatical ideologies by developing more humane forms of government
• Evolution at a personal level - increasing the complexity of knowledge
• Why meeting emotional needs is essential for creating the spare capacity necessary for developing consciousness and our ‘spiritual’ life.
