Ananda is the author of Here For The Joy (2022) and Good News About the World Falling Apart (2025) the latter work being the subject of this podcast.
Ananda went to Andover, Oberlin and Yale Law School and later taught English at St. Ann's School in Brooklyn. In 1994, he left the city for upstate New York where he worked as a carpenter and mechanic and started seriously following his bliss. He retired from carpentry when he hit 56, but never stopped teaching: twelve years guiding students of shamanism at Spirit Hollow, the nature and spirituality center he co-founded, and the last twenty years and counting as an adjunct instructor of anthropology, history and mythology at the Community College of Vermont.
