Dr Simon Attwood is the Head of Conservation with the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Singapore, agro-ecologist, avid bird-watcher, musician and yoga instructor. www.worldwildlife.org

On this episode, Simon and I talk about the importance of cultivating an affinity with nature for those who seek a fulfilled life. We discuss the science that supports a greater connection with (and compassion for) the living Earth, and look at ways we can integrate a natural connection into our synthetic, modern sad lives.
