What Travel Teaches Us About Nature & Ourselves | Bob Bhania
How do we, as a society, define success? Is it measured by the material possessions we accumulate, the cutting-edge technologies we develop, or the milestones we achieve in space exploration? While these accomplishments are often celebrated, they overshadow a critical aspect of our existence: our relationship with nature. No matter how advanced we become, true success remains elusive if we fail to honour and protect the natural world that sustains us.
This week on Worldly Perceptions, Rajan Nazran converses with adventurer and environmental advocate Bob Bhania to explore how travel reshapes our understanding of the world and ourselves. They delve into thought-provoking themes—national prosperity, the neglect of nature, belief systems, and the ancient wisdom of animism.
Bob emphasises the importance of humility in travel, warning against the arrogance that blinds us to learning and growth. He argues that disrespecting nature is, in essence, a disrespect to ourselves. In a world increasingly defined by borders and progress, this conversation serves as a reminder that true success lies in harmony—with the planet, with people, and with our own evolving perceptions. It challenges listeners to rethink their priorities and consider how reconnecting with nature might be the key to achieving genuine success. Tune in for a compelling discussion that inspires reflection and action.
