Sally Kohn: Resilience comes from knowing that you've done difficult things in the past. She says there's a huge missing conversation online because we've been reluctant to say it's over. We tried to take kids and make their lives easier instead of just keeping it status quo, she says. Kohn: A lot of people are saying with the softness or the lower kind of rules or standards or whatever. But also there's a lot of less free play. There's a lot less time in nature."
Shane's guest on this episode of the show is
New York Times bestselling author Neil Pasricha, who returns for his second appearance on The Knowledge Project. We discuss the importance of gratitude and how simple acts can change the way you feel, where confidence comes from, the specific routines and habits you can use to counter anxiety, the recipe for building resilience, and so much more. Pasricha is the author of seven books which collectively have sold over 2 million copies and spent over 200 weeks on bestseller lists, including
The Happiness Equation and
Two-Minute Mornings. His first TED talk, “The 3 A’s of Awesome,” is ranked as one of the 10 Most Inspiring of all time, and he also hosts a podcast called
3 Books, where he uncovers the 1,000 most formative books in the world. Neil previously appeared on Episode 72 of the The Knowledge Project, one of the show’s most downloaded conversations to date. His new book,
Our Book of Awesome, will be released Dec. 6.
