The interconnectivity between humans and nature is inherent, yet often overlooked. This begs the question: How can we use this connection to build a healthier relationship with our planet and its inhabitants? In this episode, we are joined by Tom Oliver, critically acclaimed author of The Self Delusion: The Surprising Science of Our Connection to Each Other and the Natural World. In addition to his work as an author, Tom is also a Professor of Applied Ecology at the University of Reading.  Listen now to hear about: Interactions between land use and climate change. Global initiatives to protect nature. Eastern religions’ outlook on environmental health.  How individual egos influence the collective ecological worldview.  You can get in touch with Tom Oliver by clicking here, and purchasing a copy of his book here.  Episode also available on Apple Podcast: http://apple.co/30PvU9C
