In this episode, I talk with\xa0Emma Varvaloucas,\xa0an editor and writer with a decade+ focusing on discovering and publicizing underreported good news in the nonprofit media space. \xa0 Emma is the executive director of The Progress Network, where she writes the popular What Could Go Right? weekly newsletter and is co-host of the What Could Go Right? podcast. She was formerly the executive editor of\xa0Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, and the editor of two books from Wisdom Publications. \xa0 In a wide-ranging conversation, we discuss how we can train our minds to not overreact to the negative and scary things that are happening in the world so that we might respond with equanimity rather than join the chorus of divisiveness and despair. \xa0 Among many other things, we talk about the news, social media, polarization \u2026 and a non-grasping way of thinking about progress as not a utopia just around the corner but more a noticing of the gradual arc of improvement in people's lives by focusing less on the click-bait negative headlines and more on what is going right. \xa0 \xa0 Learn more about The Progress Network:
