In our first episode of the #21for21 series, Carola and Marco talk to Wouter van Noort about personal development in the context of transformation. Wouter explores potential futures & systems change, as well as transcendental purpose & meaning.



In the fascinating and rich conversation that follows, Wouter addresses topics such as the role of the pandemic on consciousness around systems change, the role of the self in this transformation, the futurenow concept, the need for internalisation and how we are entering a transformation that is not only a change from the outside, but mainly from within. 


Wouter van Noort is a Dutch journalist who explores our potential futures and systems change, and recently started a weekly newsletter Transcend, about transcendental purpose and meaning. He works for the daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad and is a commentator for several tv and radio programs. Wouter founded Future Affairs, a fast growing digital subdomain of NRC with a podcast, a weekly curated newsletter, an online community and live events.
