WLT Dialogues · Authors & Thinkers

Go beyond the book review

WLT Dialogues on YouTube

Books become conversations

Some of the richest WLT book coverage can begin with a book but continue through an interview with the author. Dialogues allow readers and viewers to hear the person behind the ideas, understand the context in which a book was written and follow connections that a conventional review may only introduce.

As the WLT Dialogues library grows, author conversations can be linked here to their books, related magazine articles and the WLT subject gateways to which their ideas belong.

Authors already within the wider WLT field

WLT and Gaiarcadia material already connects with authors and thinkers including Ervin Laszlo, Anneloes Smitsman, Jean Houston, Jude Currivan, Sean Kelly, Satish Kumar, Jeremy Lent, Brian Swimme, Julian Cribb and others whose books and ideas cross several WLT subject areas.

Recommendation first; commercial relationship second

Books & Ideas can include books because WLT considers them important whether or not there is any commercial relationship. Where a purchase link is affiliated or otherwise helps support WLT, that relationship can be disclosed clearly without allowing it to determine editorial selection.
