Webs Of Meaning: Life, Identity & Our Inherent Interconnection / Jeremy Lent","description":"Today I speak with award-winning author and speaker, Jeremy Lent. Described by Guardian journalist George Monbiot as \u201cone of the greatest thinkers of our age,\u201d Jeremy\u2019s work investigates the underlying causes of our civilisation\u2019s existential crisis, and explores pathways toward a life-affirming future.\n\nA former internet company CEO, with a BA in English Literature from Cambridge University and an MBA from the University of Chicago, Jeremy\u2019s life has followed an unexpected path, as we\u2019ll come to hear, and he has gone on to write two highly acclaimed books. \n\nThe first, The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity's Search for Meaning, explores the way humans have made meaning from the cosmos from hunter-gatherer times to the present day. His new book, The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe, draws upon science and philosophies to lay out a solid foundation for a worldview of deep interconnectedness.\n\nJeremy is the founder of the Deep Transformation Network, a global community exploring pathways to an ecological civilisation, and the nonprofit Liology Institute, dedicated to fostering an integrated worldview that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on the Earth.\n\nRecorded on 20th Oct 2022.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/122418a3-5308-4c8b-ae55-daf5e9d9ede7/artworks-t7tirzgcfrjirgv4-ovjkra-t3000x3000.jpg"}
