Is there hope for humanity?
In light of the numerous challenges we face today, from political to environmental crises, it seems like there isnāt.
But according to todayās esteemed guest Marcelo Gleiser, thereās still hope! However, we need to shift our perspective, recognize our place in the universe, and rediscover our connection to the natural world.
These are topics he thoroughly explored in his most recent book: The Dawn of a Mindful Universe: A Manifesto for Humanity's Future. I used our interview to ask him a few questions that came to my mind when I was reading this wonderful book.
