Summary

Paul Hawken is one of the great elder statesmen of environmentalism, a bestselling author, and the mind behind Drawdown and Regeneration.  This conversation explores the biosphere's intrinsic intelligence through the expansive lens of Paul's latest book, Carbon: The Book of Life. We discuss carbon's improbable origins, examine the mycelial networks that function as Earth's connective tissue, and challenge our extractive relationship with nature.  He methodically deconstructs our reductive approaches to climate solutions, highlighting how humility and wonder might be our most powerful tools for planetary stewardship. Paul’s perspective represents not merely a shift in environmental thinking, but a fundamental reimagining of our relationship with the living world. Enjoy!

Pod Ultra4 can increase quality sleep duration by up to one hour per night. Think about that.

when it comes to that satisfying boost that I'm looking for.

So when Peek sent me Nandaka, their adaptogenic coffee alternative,

let's just say I was a bit dubious that this would be any different from the others.

1:55.9

But I got to tell you, I was pleasantly surprised.
