Jeremy Lent is an author and one of the greatest thinkers of our time. He uses ancient knowledge, philosophy and biology to show how we can flourish as people, in harmony with nature.

Show Notes

Jeremy Lent is the author of two great books called 'The Patterning Instinct' and 'The Web of Meaning'. 

Jeremy has gone through a profound change in his own life - and nature has helped him becoming the person who he is today. That is a perfect point to start our conversation.

After that we dig into years of research in order to help us understand how we can live in harmony with nature. In this episode, we start with his own journey from being the CEO of a credit card company to one of the greatest thinkers of our time. In our conversation, we touch upon a few topics:
- why has our current worldview 'expired', how does that affect safety, equality and climate?
- why would we need an ecological civilization and what would it look like?
- what has Jeremy learned from his credit card company days, and how can you as a listener take that knowledge to work tomorrow?
- we would need to 'change the operating system of our society', that sounds pretty big; why would we need it and how do we do it?
- what can we learn from extreme veganism from the 90's?
- where do you, as a manager, consultant, coach, leader or entrepeneur start if you want to use Jeremy's knowledge and contribute to a safe, sustainable, happy and equal world?

What is The Expedition ?

The Expedition is a podcast that searches the answer to the questions: what is leadership for a better world? How can you (yeah, you - listening to this podcast) contribute?

In order to contribute to a better world, we need leadership that works in harmony with nature. Sounds good right? But what does this mean? How does 'leadership for a better world' work in practice? What do you do as a professional, a consultant, a manager if you want to contribute?

The Expedition interviews guests from all kinds of fields: professors, nature lovers, knowledge keepers of aboriginal wisdom, managers, consultants - yet all of them have one thing in common: they can contribute to finding the answer how YOU can contribute to a better world.

Our climate, safety and equality are more and more under pressure. We may feel that, but how do we change it? Where do we go, what do we do in our daily lives in order to make things 'better'?

The episodes are in English or in Dutch, depending on the guest.

This search is hosted by Daan van Lith, founder of ExpeditionGoodLife.org.
