Iko Knaar's new book, "In My Shoes," is published by Simon & Schuster. In it, the author talks about how she was able to teach a group of teen boys in New York City after they called her Osama bin Laden during a run. She says these are moments when you have to remember this radical connectedness.
Following 9/11, Simran Jeet Singh's Sikh family in Texas was subjected to extreme racist abuse. And yet, Simran's father chose to look on the bright side and offer thanks instead for the acts of kindness friends and neighbors showed them. How was such optimism possible?
Simran - author of The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life - explains how practicing positive habits and living by our values as often as we can will really help when a crisis arises.
