Today one of the most significant whistleblowers of the 20th Century will join us and reflect on his spiritual life and the role of conscience. Daniel Ellsberg changed the course of history by releasing the Pentagon Papers. He will shed light on his personal transformation since committing his life to exposing the deceptions of U.S. leaders.
Dr. Ellsberg grew up in Detroit with dedicated Christian Scientist parents. After Harvard, he became a U.S. Marine Commander, a Rand Analyst, and a high-level civilian in the Pentagon. While writing critically acclaimed books Risk, Ambiguity and Decision and Secrets, he remains a tireless international and local activist. He lives in the East Bay with his wife, Patricia Marx Ellsberg, an engaged Buddhist.
