THE BOND Connecting Through the Space Between Us

Karen White adopts a conversational tone to deliver McTaggart’s observations of society and her support of a new paradigm of cooperation. McTaggart rejects the cult of individualism, saying that a feeling of connection with others is a more authentic and happier way to live. Whether describing current events or the relationships of remote tribal peoples, White sounds earnest. With sincerity, she lays out the author’s premise that modern society has been usurped by competition. Her tone reflects McTaggart’s desire to convince listeners that there’s a better way. She maintains an animated pace through the disparate sources of argument from which McTaggart draws. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2011]
