Listen Later

Our world is in a state of change, and my guest today is asking the questions: What comes next? How do we adapt? And who is finding the solutions?

Alan Weisman is an award-winning journalist whose reports have appeared in national outlets including The Atlantic Monthly and NPR, among others. 

His new book, "Hope Dies Last", seeks to answer the above questions.

Alan has reported from more than 60 countries, all seven continents, has written seven books, several of which have won awards. On the show today we chat about the original garden of eden, stories from around the world from people that are working hard for our blue planet, the importance of following the breadcrumbs of your own passion, and the reality of not just the book, but also the vital concept that "Hope Dies Last".
