About the podcast

Roman Krznaric is a bestselling author and one of the UK’s leading philosophers, who is passionate about the power of ideas to transform society. He is a TED speaker, a founding faculty member of the School of Life, the Creator of the World’s First Empathy Museum, and a Research Fellow at the Long Now Foundation. Roman’s books include: ‘How to Find Fulfilling Work’, ‘Empathy’, ‘The Wonderbox’ and ‘Carpe Diem Regained’, and have been published in more than 20 languages. In this conversation, we discuss his most recent book: ‘The Good Ancestor’, which focuses on how to think long term in a short term world.

In this wide ranging discussion, we explore:

  • Why long term thinking may hold the key to solving large scale societal issues such as climate change
  • How small groups of ‘time rebels’ are slowly starting to influence culture and public policy to the protect the rights of future generations
  • The psychological barriers to long term thinking, and how to overcome them
  • Practical ways we can start widening our time horizons

And a whole lot more.

Upcoming at TWU

This episode is sponsored by our upcoming Day on Changing Consciousness, taking place at the University of Greenwich on 26th June, 2022. 

This will be The Weekend University’s first ‘in person’ event in over two years, and it’s shaping up to be a special occasion. The lectures will focus on consciousness paradigms that go beyond the brain, how they work, why they matter, and how understanding them can enhance your everyday experience of reality, with talks on: 

–> Panpsychism: Is Everything Conscious? – Dr Philip Goff, PhD

–> From Ego-Centric to Eco-Centric: Changing Consciousness through Psychedelics – Dr Sam Gandy, PhD 

–> Is Reality an Illusion? – Professor Donald Hoffman, PhD (via live video link)

By attending live, you can interact with the speakers in the Q&A sessions, connect with like-minded participants during the conference, and get CPD certification. 

Should you be unable to attend in person, you’ll also be able to tune in from the comfort of home with a “Livestream Pass”.
