In Our Nature

Why Are We Pretending Normal Life Is Fine When It’s Actually Very Unnatural and Weird?


Listen Later

This episode discusses lying in the foetal position in a dark room and the desire to drink gin during the day while hiding under a duvet. Can you relate? 

‘Normal’ life has become rather peculiar, what with all of the ecosystem-destroying and mental-health-shredding shenanigans that seem to prop up the economy. 

Join me as we explore:

  • The stark contrast between "normal" and "natural"
  • The many ways modern life has veered away from natural rhythms and balance
  • The implications of our unnatural norms and how they shape our mental health and the planet
  • What happens when we are out of sync with our inherent nature
  • The role of the individual (that’s you) and the role of everyone else when it comes to our disconnection and dissatisfaction


Mentioned:

We’ve Made up What Mental Illness Is (And Who Decides What’s Normal Anyway?)

"All Of This" (gestures around wildly) "Is Not in Our Nature"
