Listen Later

Welcome to In Search of Wisdom, a podcast by the Perennial Leader Project.

In this episode, I welcome back to the show Dr. Kai Whiting the co-author of Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In. Kai Whiting is a researcher and lecturer in sustainability and Stoicism. His main research interests are how to better account for resource use and the practical application of Stoic philosophy to the challenges of the 21st century.

In the conversation, Kai and I discuss,

  • The meaning of sustainability and why it matters.
  • The connection between wisdom and thinking sustainably.
  • Why we need to change our language around sustainability.
  • What Stoicism can teach us about changing the world, and much more.
