Conversations Worth Having.

Eric and Liisa explore the science of human flourishing — from the food we eat, to the environments we inhabit, to the gap between the lives we're living and the lives we're capable of. Two bodies of work. One complete picture.

Space and Behavior

Liisa Niglas explores how the spaces we inhabit shape who we become. Each episode translates environmental psychology, nervous system science, and the biology of space into practical insight — so you can begin to read what any room is doing to the people inside it, and change it.

Space and Behavior is for anyone who has ever felt calmer in one room than another and never known why. Liisa Niglas reads the spaces we live and work in the way a clinician reads a chart — light, sound, proportion, materials, flow — and translates what she finds into changes you can actually make. Each episode turns the science of how environments shape the nervous system into something practical: a new way to see the room you’re in right now, and somewhere to begin changing what it’s doing to you.

A Wilder Life

Eric Edmeades examines the growing gap between the environments human biology evolved for and the world we actually live in. Through conversations with researchers, practitioners, and original thinkers, each episode explores what it costs us to live in conditions our nervous systems were never designed for — and what becomes possible when we close that gap.

A Wilder Life is the longer conversation — the one that goes where a single episode cannot. Eric and guests explore what it actually means to live well in a world that was not designed for human flourishing. These are not interviews in the conventional sense. They are explorations: wide-ranging, unhurried, and grounded in the understanding that the gap between the lives we are living and the lives we are capable of is not a motivation problem. It is a design problem. Episodes cover everything from the neuroscience of spatial safety to the evolutionary origins of modern anxiety, from biophilic design principles to the question of what environments our children actually need. If Space and Behavior gives you the framework, A Wilder Life gives you the depth.
