Summary

Dr. Jane Goodall joins me today to take us into the wild and explore consciousness outside and beyond the realm of the human animal. How does understanding consciousness in other species help us understand our place in the web of life? How do we harness this understanding to ensure the survival of our planet...and us? Dr. Goodall, a world-renowned primatologist and anthropologist -- and not to mention a personal hero of mine -- takes us into the story of her life and the lessons she's learned along the way. Join me, as we discover the power of the human spirit and our connection to all living things. Special thanks to Aimee Morgana Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
