Preface from Making Global Sense
Apr 14, 202500:13:10Tap to summarizeHere is the preface from the forthcoming audiobook version of Making Global Sense. Because my voice is rough from cancer treatments, your narrator is Daniel Greenberg, a professional voice artist. His soulwork features supporting intentional communities worldwide, so he recorded this preface test run in India, and he'll be recording the full audiobook in Mozambique. Other locales around the world join the list as he and I do "punch-ins" for seamless segues. Audiobook production is taking longer than expected. Intervening factors feature health crises, moving across town, and my day job going full-time. Consequently. RELEASE DATE IS NOW LATE SPRING 2006. Please visit GlobalSense.com for news, where your feedback is welcome. And now I hope you enjoy the preface for Making Global Sense, recorded in spring 2025.

Jan 13, 202400:03:26Tap to summarizeAs a child, I practiced magic tricks and became adept at deception.
