Marc Bekoff on Rewilding our Hearts: Building Pathways of Compassion and Coexistence

Marc-Bekoff-and-a-wolf_edited-1-1-300x300.jpg

In wildlife conservation work, rewilding refers to habitat restoration and the creation of corridors between preserved lands to allow declining populations to rebound. Marc Bekoff, one of the world’s most engaging animal experts and activists (he worked alongside leading writers and activists including Jane Goodall, Peter Singer, and PETA cofounder Ingrid Newkirk), here applies this to human attitudes.

He argues that unless we start rewilding ourselves, becoming profoundly reconnected to nature and fundamentally shifting our consciousness, our conservation efforts will have limited impact. As we become re-enchanted with the world, we dissolve artificial boundaries and truly connect with both nature and ourselves.

dr-jill-bolte-taylor.jpg

How can we create a healthy relationship with our own brain? How can we evolve our brains to shift the way we live and save ourselves and the planet? Dr. Jill, who has spent the last 8 years recovering from her personal "Stroke of Insight," lets us in on what she's learned in her "Brain Extravaganza." Our moods are delicious, and they love to run; they're so strong, we don't realize how much control we have over them.

Dr. Jill goes over her magical 90-second rule for working with your own brain's neuro-circuits to change your mood. Another hint: to convince your rational left brain, give it facts; to empower the intuitive right side of the brain, notice how you already are doing it right. Tune in for more fascinating facts from the woman who has rebuilt her brain herself (with lots of help).
