EP.16 - - Do We Have A Mental Health and Climate Crisis? Or Do We Have A Values Crisis?

We continue to look at rising mental health and environmental destruction as if they emerge in isolation, we slap on another band-aid to offer short-term relief and wonder why we end up in the same place. 

In this powerful and punchy 40 minute talk, Sutter looks at Mental Health, Climate Change, Social Media, Consumerism, Capitalism, Neoliberalism, GDP, Authenticity, Leisure Time, Heroes, and introduces us to Greenwashing’s Ugly New Friend. Importantly, he investigates how they are all deeply interconnected and proposes a way out of impending climate and mental health catastrophe. 

He calls for a move away from being merely a consumer. He screams for a shift from the neoliberal assault, and our dog eat dog world where competition and consumption is promoted. He calls out unethical companies, lacklustre mental health initiatives, ‘tick a box’ corporate wellbeing programs, false friends, the education system and broken structures. 

Episode 16 is a wild ride through politics, business, corruption, consumerism, society and culture, and so much more. Sutter gets a helping hand from great thinkers like Chomsky, Suzuki, Socrates, and Kennedy and blends it with stories and case studies to deliver a comprehensive and engaging talk that simply must be listened to - if you are human, that is
