Welcome to the first installment of The Aligned Path Book Club! In this series, I’ll be sharing books that have profoundly influenced me—books that offer valuable insights on finding and living your purpose.

For this first post, I’m excited to talk about a book that’s deeply personal: The Change Code: A Practical Guide to Making a Difference in a Polarized World.

Friend, Futurist, and Founder of AADII, Steve McDonald was gracious enough to write the forward for my book, The Change Code. Based in Byron Bay, Australia, Steve is also the host of one of my favorite podcasts, Future Sense. 

Friend, author, and master storyteller Sarah Elkins wanted to learn more about the story behind The Change Code and how we can apply these concepts to reducing polarization in our communities. We discussed “wicked” problems and how to create solutions.

Derek Sheahan, a transformation coach based in Durango, Colorado, recently launched his spirituality & transformation podcast, Lenses That Liberate. I had the privilege to be one of his first guests to discuss my new book, The Change Code and Spiral Dynamics which is based on the work of Clare. W Graves.
