Politics of Being is the Nautilus Book Award Grand Winner

Dear Friends, 

I am absolutely delighted to inform you that the Politics of Being is the Grand Winner for this year’s Nautilus book awards, in addition to having received the gold prize in its category – World-Cultures’ Transformational Growth & Development. I am also a contributor to “The Great Upshift”, edited by Ervin Laszlo and David Lorimer, which received special honors.

The Nautilus Book Awards (“better books for a better world”) praise works that contribute to the collective future of humanity. Its mission is “to celebrate and honor books that support conscious living and green values, wellness, social change, social justice, and spiritual growth”.  The nautilus, a mollusk who constructs its pearl-lined shell as it grows, symbolizes both ancient wisdom and expanding horizons, natural beauty, and a continual growth of understanding and awareness. 

Indeed, this is perfectly aligned with the mission and intention of this book, which took ten years to birth, and brought together my personal, professional and spiritual journey .

This is a great recognition, which comes also with public relation support and should help open new doors for the politics of being, including hopefully new publishers. It really touches me and feels like a confirmation of what I intuitively know : that this work is blessed and holds a promising future. 

I received this news as I was in Ibiza, Spain, during the last dinner (during dessert !) of our Holomovement Wave. The news rapidly spread as my friend Gary Malkin took the mic to announce it and I improvised a short speech from the heart before we broke out to party for the last night !

A highlighted excerpt of the book:

Darkness is said to be stronger just before dawn. Indeed, our awareness of this spiritual disease can allow us to develop the appropriate medicine. As we will see in this book, the required change needs to be so profound and all-encompassing, touching upon the very meaning of our lives and priorities, connecting us to our true nature, resonating with spiritual teachings, and constituting a deeply qualitative progress, that I can find no other way to define it than “spiritual.” This also simply means growing up collectively so that, more and more, we act as mature, responsible, and reasonable human beings—no more than that. Each of us already has such people in his or her neighborhood and daily life.
