When the Dalai Lama and Greta Thunberg spoke for the first time in January 2021, millions of people around the world took notice. The event was livestreamed to people all around the world and was introduced by my guest today Susan Bauer Wu the President of the Mind & Life Institute. This organization was founded by the Dalai Lama in 1987 to bring science and contemplative wisdom together to create positive change in the world. Hosting this event with the Mind & Life Institute and being able to witness the conversation in real time was a powerful experience for Susan and she has written about that meeting in her new book A Future We Can Love. The book shares the words of these two great figures, generations apart, and brings them into dialogue with cutting -edge climate scientists, activists, and spiritual leaders to start a world-changing conversation. If you feel powerless to do anything about climate change listen in to this conversation.
