This episode of Book Talks features Lynn Rasmussen, founder of The Maui Institue and author of “Seeing: A Field Guide to the Patterns and Processes of Nature, Culture, and Consciousness.” Lynn is a systems theorist and researcher with over 25 years of conversations and collaborations with cutting-edge systems scientists and thinkers. With roots in public health and community service, she applies her knowledge of systems to the environmental, cultural, and economic crises facing her island home.

She illustrates how nature-based patterns work in everyday life and helps readers to understand how nature’s complex systems work generally, and we can better organize ourselves.
