Sanity & Soul: Conversations

Sanity & Soul: Conversations

Earlier this year Stephen agreed to several heart-to-hearts; among those conversations were a handful of counsel calls and a few interviews.

Those counsel call conversations are now available to those who have registered for Sanity & Soul: Die Wise, Ten Years On.

The three interviews are with men all years younger than himself. What can happen in one sitting between men who’ve not spent time-in together grants me something in the order of ‘hope’.

Paul Philipson of the Feelings with Strangers podcast:

Stephen reminded me that our lives are shaped by the questions we ask rather than the answers we seek—in his own words, “I’m far more in favour of the wonder of the question than the certainty of the answer.” As the great poet E.E. Cummings phrased it, “Always the most beautiful answer to he who asks the most beautiful question.”

Tad Hargrave of Marketing for Hippies:

On Saturday morning, in the lead up to the 10th anniversary of the book Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, I sat down over zoom with its author Stephen Jenkinson to have a conversation about ‘culture work’ which seems to have been a thread through all of his endeavours.

Culture work is underwritten by the notion that most of our maladies aren’t personal in nature but cultural but that the very culture that harms us has become invisible to us. I
won’t say too much more.
