I think we're already facing a mental health crisis, and we haven't even hit the end of growth yet. The last once, certainly the last decade, we've seen this huge upswell of anger amongst people. We've got to take a step back from the story we've been running in our own life? So it's getting back to this idea that look, we're all grown ups here. And part of it is learning to unscrip this story that we've been told about what life was meant to be.
On this episode, we meet with author, social scientist, policy researcher, and mental health advocate Tim Watkins.
Watkins gives us a bird’s eye view of how energy, the economy, the environment, and mental health fit together. How important will mental health be to help us navigate uncertain times?
