"Sometimes [kindness] means waking people up, and that's what movements do...when we build movements, one of the reasons we do it is to bring people back to attention."

Bill McKibben needs no introduction. He’s the author of The End of Nature, which was the first layperson’s book about climate change, and a book that had a profound influence on me and many others. He’s also the author of many other thought-provoking books, including Falter and The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon, which the New Yorker called one of the best books of 2022. He founded the global climate group 350.org with some of his students from Middlebury College, and founded a more recent group, Third Act, primarily with retirees across the country. No matter your age, in other words, Bill may urge you, too, to get involved. Astonishingly insightful, articulate, strategic, and generous, Bill’s commitment to and impact on this world would be hard to overstate; the fact that the world isn’t in better shape is simply a profound nudge to the rest of us to level up.
