The Sibling Society by Robert Bly Book Review & Presentation

1 year ago
13

Robert Bly's "The Sibling Society" is a scathing critique of America's direction by a legendary poet. In today's book review and presentation I will be doing a chapter by chapter breakdown of the text, updating some of the information from 1996, and providing solutions on what we can do to change the world. There are Robert Bly inspired video edits throughout the video, a never before released (on YouTube) Robert Bly interview on "The Sibling Society" and a couple other gems embedded within this video.
I am also launching the Robert Bly course alongside this video. The course is free and has a Discord dedicated to Robert Bly, The Robert Bly Resource center (work in progress) and a place for you to submit Robert Bly inspired projects for me to comment on.
