The argument for rational optimism

Justin Wright Season 1 Episode 34

With sensationalist news headlines, it's easy to feel like the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Everything seems grim. Division is at an all-time high, everyone is arguing, and no one seems happy.

If you step away from news and social media, however, there are plenty of reasons to believe the world is actually getting better. The concept of rational optimism is that, if you like at the data, our lives are better now than they ever have been. There is also reason to believe this will continue in the future.

Tune in to hear the reason that this is true, as well as some strategies for being more rationally optimistic in your life.
