As human beings, our perceptions control our reality.
Ever wondered how your perceptions shape your reality? John Perkins, a renowned author and activist, joins host Eric Zimmer on 'The One You Feed' to tackle this very question. Perkins, whose books have topped the New York Times Best Seller list, shares his journey from being a chief economist advising global institutions to working with indigenous communities to protect the environment.
In this episode, they dive into his book, *Touching the Jaguar: Transforming Fear into Action to Change Your Life and the World*, and discuss how altering our perceptions can lead to profound changes in our lives and the world around us. Perkins explains the concept of the 'death economy' versus the 'life economy'. The death economy focuses on short-term profits at any cost, while the life economy aims for sustainability and regeneration.
He argues that by changing our perceptions and feeding our 'good wolf'—the one filled with compassion and kindness—we can transition from a destructive economy to one that nurtures life. Drawing from his work with indigenous people, Perkins highlights the wisdom they offer in terms of community, connection, and respect for the earth. He believes that embracing these values can help us transform fear into actionable steps toward a better future. Conscious consumerism is another key topic in their conversation.
Perkins urges listeners to think critically about where they spend their money and how their choices can drive positive change. This episode is a call-to-action for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world. By shifting our perceptions and taking conscious actions, we can contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate society. Tune in to hear Perkins' compelling insights and discover how you can start feeding your good wolf today.
