NVW founder James Flaherty joins Adam for the first episode in a series devoted to the huge question of how we can possibly respond to the world’s many crises. With change happening faster than our bodies were designed to process—not to mention the fact that there is so much we can’t do anything about—why is it important to stay present and try to understand it anyway? How can we do this without getting overwhelmed? James and Adam begin this complex conversation with some eye-opening thoughts and useful resources.

Here are the books mentioned in this episode:

Liquid Times: Living in an Age of Uncertainty by Zygmunt Bauman

Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations by Thomas Friedman
