Listen "Our Ancient Futures"
Episode Synopsis
What if there were a single solution to the seemingly disparate crises we face today? Helena Norberg-Hodge, best-selling author, filmmaker, and pioneer of the new economy movement, offers a path forward that stems from a transformative experience that she had in Ladakh, a remote region on the Tibetan plateau. Ladakh had been completely sealed off to the outside world for centuries—resulting in the happiest and healthiest people that Helena had ever met. But as it opened up to the modern world, Ladakh's social and ecological wellbeing quickly unraveled. Helena’s decades of learnings shed light on what it would take to design ancient futures that reclaim the abundance and equality that our ancestors once enjoyed—what she calls the Economics of Happiness.
