The dialogue never falters, and the prose burns up the page.” Brandon Taylor, The New York Times Book Review Beautiful World, Where Are You is Rooney’s best novel yet."

I was living the way a successful bachelor professor is supposed to live in the American world of ‘he who makes it.’ I wasn’t a genuine scholar, but I had gone through the whole academic trip. I vacationed in the Caribbean where I did scuba-diving. I had a Mercedes-Benz sedan and a Triumph 500 CC motorcycle and a Cessna 172 airplane and an MG sports car and a sailboat and a bicycle. I had an apartment in Cambridge that was filled with antiques and I gave very charming dinner parties. In a worldly sense, I was making a great income and I was a collector of possessions. I held appointments in four departments at Harvard-the Social Relations Department, the Psychology Department, the Graduate School of Education, and the Health Service (where I was a therapist) I had research contracts with Yale and Stanford. I had just returned from being a visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley: I had been assured of a permanent post that was being held for me at Harvard, if I got my publications in order. “ In 1961, the beginning of March, I was at perhaps the highest point of my academic career. ![]() I was a Professor at Harvard and everybody stood around in awe and listened to my every word, and all I felt was that horror that I knew inside that I didn’t know.” Until you know a good, Jewish middleclass, upwardly mobile, anxiety-ridden neurotic, you haven’t met a real achiever! … Everytime I went to a family gathering, I was the boy who made it. ![]() ![]() ![]() “If you’re 18, 19, 20 years old, the Earth was stolen from you. I think we can all stop heading in the wrong direction and do a 180 and head for regeneration.” “What we can all see if we are aware, listen, watch, is that regenerative road. “Regeneration today is being used a lot, today, more and more and what I mean by regeneration is pretty much the center of bringing the Earth back to life,” Hawken said. Hawken began the lecture by expanding on the term “regeneration,” which he defined as a “radical new approach to the climate crisis, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity … into a seamless tapestry of action … that can end the climate crisis in one generation.” The lecture was one of many features from the UCSB Arts & Lectures “Creating Hope” campaign, which aims to “strengthen human connection, promote emotional well-being, joy and compassion, and envision positive change” within the UCSB community. Hawken - alongside UCSB moderators professor Sarah Anderson of the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management and assistant professor Liz Carlisle from the environmental science program - dedicated the lecture to expanding on his book “Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation,” as well as redefining sustainability.
