Satish Kumar: Why the world needs less clever people

Feeling Lost? Start Here.In this deeply moving conversation, Finn Harries sits down with Satish Kumar: peace pilgrim, educator, former Jain monk, environmental activist and founder of Schumacher College. At nearly 90 years old, Satish shares the lessons he's gathered over a lifetime: from growing up on a small farm in rural India and becoming a monk at just nine years old to “escape death”, to walking 8,000 miles for peace without money and dedicating his life to service, simplicity and environmentalism.Together, Finn and Satish explore some of the biggest questions of our time: How do we find purpose? Can activism be sustainable? How do we begin to connect with nature? What is the role of love in our lives?Plus, Satish shares his number one recommendation for all young people today. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world or searching for a more meaningful way to live, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, reconnect and remember what truly matters.
