Publisher's Summary

Renowned public speaker, bestselling author, social critic, and activist Charles Eisenstein offers a way forward from our present moment through a series of unforgettable essays that give us a new model of sense-making. Through a series of piercing essays, The Coronation takes listeners through the initiation of the Covid era—exploring topics like despair, hope, courage, division, and reunion—in this stunning collection. Paired with each essay is the author’s commentary locating the essay in a social, political, and spiritual journey. After all, it wasn’t only outward normality that the pandemic disrupted. Of all the social crises that COVID-19 has revealed, The Coronation addresses the most profound: the crisis in our sense-making. An old reality has disintegrated. This book reveals just how deep that breakdown is. Acknowledging it, we might build something more sound, more whole, and more sane. Underneath the shifting sands of the arguments and narratives, something else calls to us: the possibility of renewal, a revolution in the agreements and myths that organize society.

*Individually, these essays have been read, shared, and discussed by tens of thousands of people around the globe, but they are collected together here for the first time!

One gripe after the next - meagre journalling

I might have found this book stimulating as a lost, disgruntled teen. Now, just an irritating barrage of what is wrong with the world, starting with public health. Delivery is consistent, not wuite monotone, so good to aid getting to sleep.

A disappointment.

Given Eisenstein's intellect, it is deeply disappointing that this is the best he can do on the complex issues around Covid. A faux balanced argument that inevitably bends toward conspiracy theory. Taken at the level of 'energetics' one can see how systems of governance might be forever leaning toward domination and control...but all these evil epidemiologists...honestly? They are just trying to do a thing called 'Public Health'. And 'saved lives' are just 'deaths postponed'. Yeah, tell that to the bereaved families. I agreed with Eisenstien about 80% of the time. Sat on the fence 10%, and utterly lost faith in him in the remaining 10%.
