Current work culture, driven by the "more, bigger, faster" ethic, causes widespread burnout and disengagement, undermining energy, focus, creativity, and passion. "The Way We're Working Isn't Working" offers a groundbreaking approach to reenergize lives, enhancing satisfaction and productivity on and off the job.

Tony Schwartz, co-author of the #1 bestselling *The Power of Full Engagement*, integrates high-performance science to show we neglect four core needs: physical (sustainability), emotional (security), mental (self-expression), and spiritual (significance). He argues optimal performance comes from rhythmically renewing energy across these needs, not continuous high-speed work.

2016 marked the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed global measurements, confirming Earth’s average surface temperature has risen approximately 2.0°F (1.1°C) since the late 19th century.

This significant temperature increase is largely attributed to human emissions into the atmosphere.

The pandemic exposed severe flaws in the U.S. food system, from worker exploitation and food insecurity to environmental abuses. These issues were exacerbated by long-standing ties between industry and government, harming workers, animals, and biodiversity.

Join our webinar to discuss creating a more secure, just, and wildlife-friendly food system. Featuring Senior Food Campaigner Jennifer Molidor, Environmental Health Program Director Lori Ann Burd, and Senior Attorney Hannah Connor, we'll explore solutions. Positive changes are emerging, with reduced meat/dairy consumption, local governments embracing dietary shifts, and a more inclusive food movement.

The Center's Urban Wildlands program protects big cats and other wildlife by halting urban sprawl into adjacent wildlands, ensuring vital space and connectivity. Uncontrolled development in these areas heightens fire risk, increases car dependency, and isolates wildlife populations, particularly mountain lions. This year, significant progress was made in securing greater protections for California's mountain lions and stopping harmful projects.

Learn more about our efforts to safeguard California's mountain lions and wildlife corridors, and discover how you can contribute. The program features insights from Dr. Tiffany Yap, a senior scientist and wildlife corridor advocate, and J.P. Rose, Urban Wildlands Staff Attorney.
