Nate Hagens is the Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future (ISEOF), which focuses on educating and preparing society for the coming cultural transition. Allied with leading ecologists, energy experts, politicians, and systems thinkers, ISEOF assembles road-maps and off-ramps for how human societies can adapt to lower throughput lifestyles.
Nate holds a Master's Degree in Finance from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in Natural Resources from the University of Vermont. He teaches an Honors course, Reality 101, at the University of Minnesota.
He addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:
- Learning how to thrive, think positively, and sharpen your “sword” to be more effective in the things that you care about
- The importance of coping mechanisms to deal with the frenetic stimulation, stress and worry of our current times
- That we can be examples of people living differently, away from conspicuous consumption and towards a higher standard of ethics, empathy and kindness. “Those people in turn then act as a stabilizing force for the entire community when things get tough.”
