Dr. Jane Goodall – Meaning, Love, and Hope in Life's Final Mystery
A distillation of lessons and reflections with Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace.
The year-end special: A distillation of lessons and reflections with Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace. At 90, one of the most recognized living scientists in the world reminds us that there's wonder waiting on the other side of our deepest anxieties – and that true hope isn't about having all the answers but about staying curious and open to life's unfolding story.
Once we experience that feeling of connectivity where our sense of mission is imbricated empathetically with the fate of other living things, the idea of disappearing isn’t as terrifying. Because our interest, our desire, and our hope are invested in this aggregated community, which, of course, survives beyond any one of us and continues to recombine all the things that we were.
We die, in turn, so that others may live. When all the talking is talked, and the doing is done, the tragedy of a single individual becomes, in the balance of natural things, the triumph of ongoing life.
