The Spiritual Perspective69: Paul Hawken on His Fascinating Journey from Civil Rights Protester to Erewhon Founder to EnvironmentalistToday’s guest is an author, speaker, activist, and environmental journalist Paul Hawken. Paul has dedicated his life to environmental sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment. Due to a health condition and some family drama early on in his story, Paul came to understand that it wasn’t safe for him to be inside, which led him to develop a love for the outdoors. He spent countless hours exploring and learning about the interconnectedness of nature, which ultimately played a pivotal role decades later in what would become his life’s work: amplifying the imp...

He then bangs on about someone living in his area putting anonymous passive aggressive notes on the windshields of the cars in his street. Needless to say, this has filled Paul with obsessive, self-centred, violent thoughts about someone whose identity he does not even know, creating a whole mythos where the anonymous note writer is in front of him in tears profusely apologising, having received Paul's justice, Paul being right and everyone around him showering him with roses and adulation.
