Episode Details

In this thought-provoking episode, Darren and Simon dive deep into one of life’s biggest questions: What is enough?
Exploring the powerful link between human health and the health of our planet, they unpack the root causes of chronic disease, the hidden costs of endless economic growth, and the human tendency to constantly want more.

The conversation challenges modern ideals of success and invites listeners to consider how moderation, community, and self-examination can lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life. They discuss why behavioral change goes far beyond willpower — it requires understanding our deeper motivations, reconnecting with others, and recognising our place in a much larger ecosystem.
