Isabel Allende writes of passionate lives, including her own. Born into a Chilean family with political ties, she went into exile in the United States in the 1970s. As a memoirist, she has written about her vision of her lost Chile, in My Invented Country, and movingly tells the story of her life to her own daughter, in Paula. The Isabel Allende Foundation works with nonprofits in the SF Bay Area and Chile to empower and protect women and girls - understanding that empowering women is the only true route to social and economic justice.

Is humanity a plague on the earth? Or are we actually Mother Nature's greatest success story? In an amusing video posted to the new EnlightenNext Editors' Blog, this topic is addressed in a dramatic philosophical face-off between spiritual entertainer Stuart Davis and... himself. “In a schizophrenic scene situated in an idyllic Colorado mountain meadow,” writes associate editor Joel Pitney, “'Techno-Progressive Stuart' dukes it out with 'Eco-Spiritual Stuart' over the ultimate value of human civilization.” Enjoy!
