The Shift Network Launches UpShift! A New Podcast With Philosopher Ervin Laszlo

UpShift! Joins The Shift Network’s Family of Podcasts Featuring Life-Changing Conversations With Global Luminaries

PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Shift Network, a global leader in transformational media, is proud to announce the launch of The UpShift!: Conversations With Ervin Laszlo , a new podcast series hosted by Dr. Ervin Laszlo, renowned philosopher of science, author of more than 100 books, and two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee. The UpShift! explores Laszlo’s journey from piano prodigy in Hungary to becoming one of the leading minds in science and philosophy. Joined by guests including Jane Goodall, Gary Zukav, Gregg Braden, Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson, and others, Dr. Laszlo explores how we find our purpose in life, and how we can collectively join forces to shift beyond the current unsustainable trajectory of our human life on the planet.

“I’ve devoted the better part of my life to answering the question, what is our life purpose?” says Laszlo. “I have discovered that, as Einstein told us, our separateness is an illusion. We are part of something larger than ourselves — a vast, living, and evolving universe. Understanding that we are part of this interconnected web of life allows us to discover why we are here, and how we can live up to our historic mission: to advance the evolution of life and consciousness on this precious planet. The conversations in UpShift! show how we can live in harmony with each other, with nature, and with the universe — how we come together to create a better, healthier, and more sustainable world.”

The UpShift! Podcast launches in tandem with the Laszlo Institute’s Upshift Festival, a daylong festival celebrating the launch of Laszlo’s latest book, The Upshift: Wiser Living on Planet Earth; excerpts from Life of a Modern-Day Genius, a documentary on Laszlo’s life that will air on PBS-TV; and a series of action-focused seminars led by Laszlo and his team on how we can live and thrive in tune with each other and the world around us.

The UpShift! is the latest podcast to join The Shift Network’s family of podcasts, which features global luminaries in conversations on transforming our inner and outer lives, including:
