Current Project: Who We Are and How To Live

What if we could change the world by changing the way we think about what it means to be human? I argue that we can. In a time when the ways we’ve been living seem to be unraveling our mental health, our social fabric, and our ecosystems, this book shines light on some overshadowed ideas about both who we are and how to live—ideas that might help us hold our individual, social, and environmental fabric together. It argues that an ethical outlook based on the idea that humans are fundamentally relational holds promise for meaningful progress toward better mental health, better communities, and a better relationship to the planet.
