In this wide-ranging interview Peter talks with Eric Zimmer, host and producer of The One You Feed, named one of the Best Health Podcasts of All Time by The Huffington Post. Peter discusses some of the big questions he is tackling lately, including:
- The Wolf Parable
- His book, An Other Kingdom: Departing the Consumer Culture
- “I shop, therefore I am”
- The four pillars of the free market consumer ideology under which we live: Scarcity, Certainty, Perfection, and Privatisation
- If we believe in scarcity, then it’s “I win, You loose” or “You win, I lose”
- The longing for perfection, or “Is something wrong with me?”
- Neighborliness and Covenant
- His book, The Answer to How is Yes
- That questions bring us together and answers alienate us
- That sadness isn’t a problem to be solved, rather, part of being human
- If someone can convince you that something is wrong with you, they have control over you
