Hi, everyone. I want to welcome you to a very special gathering here tonight for our

sub-stack, our transform community. Someone who is making a lot of waves, no pun intended,

a book called Being the Change, Live Well, and spark a climate revolution. And I see Peter

as someone who embodies the transformational energy and movement that is going to change

this world. And I say this because he is a climate scientist. He is a scientist that

He has a PhD in physics from Columbia University. He's the most followed climate scientist on Twitter

and he writes and talks and lives. Meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, personal transformation.

He is someone who doesn't just talk about it but truly understands the changes that have to

occur on the inside as well as the outside and their intimate connection. So Peter,

speaking on my own behalf. But you mean NASA doesn't want to talk to us about meditation tonight?

Well, I think a lot of people at NASA do meditate. That's true at the Pentagon also.

There's so much science behind it too about the neuroplasticity. I kind of think about it.

It's sort of it's like piano practicing but for kind of non-attachment and sort of ego dissolution

and not reacting and escalating things. So like if somebody comes to you with bad energy,

like anger, for example, your natural reaction is to react with anger. And so it takes a lot of work

to change that really, really deep habit pattern. So that's why it's like practicing piano. It's like
