When I was writing This One Wild and Precious Life, I held a bunch of discussion groups with people I met out and about. These people – mostly strangers – wanted to chat about “what’s going on with life”, so I invited them to various get-togethers, usually over some wine and cheese, to talk through … Read more
This One Wild and Precious Life is my latest book, which took me three years to research and write (while hiking it!). Below you will find all of the details, resources, links and fun bits that you might need as a reader, journalist or otherwise. In two sentences: I head off on a soul’s journey … Read more
I figured (and hope) that after reading This One Wild and Precious Life, you’d be gagging to make a difference immediately.

Ah, right, then. Some happy, albeit belated news, amid the coronachaos. Remember how you helped me raise $60,000 for World Bicycle Relief and we provided TWO WHOLE VILLAGES in Africa a bunch of bikes? Well, the bikes arrived in the villages recently and they held ceremonies for the schools (the Munyati Primary School in the … Read more
OK.I’m doing an ongoing series of posts on what you can do to make a difference. I shared my overview of the best way to make a difference here and a great starting point for everyone – a climate daily reading list. Right now, for Australians, supporting the proposed Climate Change Act by adding your … Read more
This dilemma might be familiar to you. You might recognise it in yourself or in someone, or others, around you. This week I had a very interesting chat with my friend Frank (not his real name) off the back of my “What can I do?” My answer to global climate crises overwhelm post.
