Frank White - Why Astronauts Look for Their Home First Part 1

In this episode of The Intelligent Community, ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla speaks with Frank White, one of the world’s most esteemed authors and space philosophers, and best-selling author who wrote The Overview Effect.

Many astronauts say that when they initially see the Earth from afar, they look first for their hometowns . . . Eventually, they realize that their true identity as a human is . . . ‘with that whole thing.’”

One of the world’s most esteemed authors and space philosophers, best-selling author Frank White, wrote The Overview Effect nearly 40 years ago while gazing down at Earth. His hundreds of interviews and reporting since have changed the way people view our planet and their lives, and has influenced our outlook on the idea of “community.” After hundreds of interviews with every human being who has left Earth for Space and working with the best minds the human community offers, he narrowed the process of understanding into three words. 

In this remarkable Podcast with his friend, Lou Zacharilla, he shares them as they talk about the cognitive shift that an “overview effect” has had and what it might mean for the future of Intelligent Communities.
