Auden Schendler is someone whose work I’ve admired for a long time. He has a new book out that’s beautifully written and very inspiring, and I hope that you will read it. In this conversation, Auden and I talk about human purpose, the importance of joy and living well; and Auden spells out the need for systemic change — and not just token actions — to actually address climate change.
