The Stories We Tell Ourselves Are Killing Us - Nick Hunt

About this episode

Nick Hunt discusses the broken narratives of civilization and the myths that hinder human progress.

Nick Hunt joins the podcast to break down why the stories our civilisation tells itself are broken, why progress is one of the most limiting and overlooked myths holding humanity back, and what it means that most of us are sleepwalking through a collapsing world. We also get into the uncivilised frameworks that can expand the way you think and feel, and what Nick believes it will take for humanity to wake up to a deeper and more honest relationship with the earth.
