Ino: I think if everyone had a ten or 20 % greater capacity for respect and tolerance of the other people in their immediate sphere, that would go a long way towards enabling better responses to what we face. What are your strategies for dealing with life's curve balls? Ino: Just telling them that life sucks, but it's all so very wonderful. Don't be afraid of being discouraged or depressed. It goes with the territory.
On this episode we meet with Executive Director of Stanford University’s Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere, Joan Diamond.
Diamond helps us imagine the future in an uncertain time. How can we create robust strategies to help us plan? How can we avoid thinking only of worst-case scenarios?
Further, Diamond offers suggestions for how people can handle their hopelessness and rage following recent Supreme Court rulings. What options exist for people to change systems?
