In this special live podcast recording of Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps, Sarah Wilson explores how we might live more thoughtfully in an age of uncertainty.
In a world facing catastrophic wildfires, unprecedented flooding, record heat waves, the collapse of democracies, rising inequality and widespread unrest, our lives have never felt more precarious.
How do we continue to live meaningfully in an age of unprecedented systemic collapse? If we do lose it all, what’s left? What kind of people do we want to be when faced with these difficult realities? And, most importantly, how do we avoid succumbing to doom and despair?
New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson (I Eat the Stars) sits down with host Josh Szeps for what will be a provocative – and at times uncomfortable – conversation about reckoning with the state of the world, facing up to difficult truths and why this moment presents a vital opportunity to discover what truly matters to us.
