Living While Human

The International Book Show host Makonnen Sankofa speaks with author Arwinder Kaur to explore her book, Living While Human, a memoir shaped by Arwinder's journey from India to Canada, her career in social work and child protection, and her later transition into ecological advocacy. The book examines how modern life—defined by constant stimulation, information overload, and growing disconnection from nature—impacts human wellbeing, and why many people experience loneliness and emotional emptiness despite material progress. It reflects on humanity’s relationship with the Earth, exploring themes of overpopulation, sustainability, and the need to return to more grounded, nature-aligned ways of living that foster deeper connection to self, others, and the planet.
