After 239...
I started the Proust Nature Questionnaire in 2017. Over the last 4 years, I have interviewed 239 inspiring and successful leaders - CEOs, lawyers, celebrities, Hollywood producers, investors, scientists, artists, architects, astronauts, explorers, fashion models, winemakers, chefs, and many more. From the beginning, my goal was to find out how #nature shaped our lives. What it meant to us. How it made us feel and what we learned from it. The Questionnaire has been a labor of love but these past months, my work has become more intense and with little signs of slowing down. It is with a sad heart that I am making the decision to put the Questionnaire on hold. I might post an interview from time to time but the Proust Nature Questionnaire will no longer be one of my main priorities. I thank you for finding value in this project and for your continued support. Before I sign off, I want to share with you one insight from the project: the top words and #lessons people most associated with nature. Here they are: Beauty & Humility (tie) first, Respect and Powerful (tie) second, and Inspiring for third. See below for all the others..
