Wild with Sarah Wilson

DAVID POCOCK: World rugby legend quits; becomes climate activist. True story.


Listen Later

He was the captain of the Wallabies, the only Australian player to be included in World Rugby's team of the decade, but - wildly – retired at the height of his career to devoted his life to climate activist projects here in Australia and in Africa.

Dave and I became friends talking activism, Jungian psychology and the meaning of life over Instagram some time back. In this chat, he talks with me about grief, why Australian men aren't waking up, the sadness of facing the climate reality, and – yeah – how to make a wild decision. 

Dave promised to send a list of the books that have shaped his wildness.  He's a man of his word; here's his recommendations:

  • Living Between Worlds - James Hollis
  • Food Fix - Mark Hyman
  • Finding Resilience - Brian Walker
  • Everything is Spiritual - Rob Bell
  • The Will to Change - bell hooks
  • A Life on Our Planet - David Attenborough
  • Call of the Reed Warbler - Charles Massy
