Helena Norberg-Hodge

My name is Mattias Olsson.

I've followed Helena Norberg-Hodge's work for many, many years, so having the opportunity to sit down with her was an incredible privilege.

Helena has spent decades tracking the consequences of globalization and working for the possibility of a more local, connected way of living.

Her work invites us to look beyond the promises of economic growth and ask what kind of world we're actually building and what might serve us to do differently.

Of course, this does not encompass all of your wonderful achievements, but just some place to start.

This is what I wrote down.

Helena Norberg-Hodge is an author, a film producer, a linguist, a lecturer, a podcast host, and a proponent of localism, which we'll get into very soon what that means.

She's the recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, which is also known as the Alternative Nobel Prize, and many other awards.

Yeah.

I think it was Helena Norberg-Hodge's nice line.

She said, "Our arms have grown so long that we don't see what our hands are doing anymore." And-

Yeah.
