Show Notes
Welcome to the final instalment of our dialogue with Edi Bilimoria, author of the stunning 1200 page work Unfolding Consciousness. This is the second part of our dialogue exploring Book three entitled - Gazing through the Telescope – Man is the Measure of All Things. As with all the conversations in this series, we have done our best to make this audio friendly. However, I encourage you to watch this on Youtube if you can or at least check out the diagrams in the video when you have listened. Thank you for listening to this Edi Bilimoria series. I hope as an Shepheard Walwyn podcast listener you’ll agree that as a publisher we are committed to encouraging different voices and perspectives. For example, Phil Anderson and Fred Harrison on economic cycles, John Butler on spiritual practice. We think Edi’s work as I hope you’ve experienced in this series has the potential to change the dialogue in so many areas, most significantly perhaps, in the interaction between science and spirituality and a reappraisal and reintroduction of our ancient wisdom traditions into our discourse on how to add meaning to our existence. If you have listened to this series of conversations with Edi then I hope you feel ready to make the investment in his magnus opus. It’s taken 6 months to complete these recordings. I think I am on the third or fourth reading of each of the books and they still feel like I am reading them for the first time as there’s so much new wisdom to consider on each successive reading. My conviction is that even if you much more awareness with the perennial philosophy you’ll have a similar experience. So for the last time with Edi at least thank you for listening to the Shepheard Walwyn podcast.

In this episode, Jonathan Brown welcomes back Henry Mintzberg to unpack the biggest myths in management and leadership. Drawing on decades of observation and the ideas behind "Bust Those Management Myths", he challenges popular assumptions about what managers do, why leadership gets over-glorified, and how business schools, buzzwords and management fashions can distort the real work of organising people. The discussion also explores why serendipity matters, what remote work can’t fully replace, why AI should be approached with caution rather than hype and how "people disconnect" sits at the centre of so many management failures.
In this special episode, Jonathan Brown sits down with Phil Anderson to revisit the ideas behind The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking and discuss why 2026 has long been a key date in his forecasting. Phil explains how long-term real estate cycles, commodity cycles, interest rates, and geopolitical conflict can line up to create major turning points in the global economy. Phil also promotes the idea of a Citizen’s Dividend. A system in which the value society creates ultimately flows into land, and if those land earnings were shared more fairly, communities could reduce inequality, stabilise the economy, and even replace many existing taxes.
