Thomas Moore: "Curing Our Cultural Lostness"
About this episode
Tami Simon speaks with Thomas Moore about his new book and the cultural insights derived from Thoreau's work at Walden.
What if what ails us isn't a problem to be solved, but a dimension we've forgotten? Tami Simon speaks with Thomas Moore—bestselling author of Care of the Soul and, at 85, still writing—about his new book, The Cure at Walden Pond . Moore makes the case that Thoreau was never really a naturalist, and that what he found at Walden is the cure our culture is starving for. This conversation offers genuine transmission, not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together, and it originally aired on Sounds True One.
