Our trust and hope are mocked as naive. By now,you know better. You can stay skeptical and avoid knee-jerk assumptions about people. You can remember that the media warps our view of one another and look for better data. Most of all, you can realize that hope is not a weakness, but a path to being less wrong and more effective. We can use that hope, like a divining rod, to locate others who want thesame things we do, building solidarity and common cause.\"  - Jamil Zaki</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>RESOURCES:<a href=\"https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_to_find_hope_when_youre_feeling_cynical\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_to_find_hope_when_youre_feeling_cynical</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/books/article/2024/aug/23/hope-for-cynics-by-jamil-zaki-review-beating-the-trust-recession\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.theguardian.com/books/article/2024/aug/23/hope-for-cynics-by-jamil-zaki-review-beating-the-trust-recession</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/in-hope-for-cynics-researcher-explores-how-seeing-the-good-in-others-is-good-for-you\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/in-hope-for-cynics-researcher-explores-how-seeing-the-good-in-others-is-good-for-you</a></p><p><br></p><p>THE BOOK: <a href=\"https://www.jamil-zaki.com/hope-for-cynics\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.jamil-zaki.com/hope-for-cynics</a></p><p><br></p><p>DONATE:<a href=\"http://www.pcrf.net/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.pcrf.net</a></p><p>Get Involved:<a href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vtMLLOzuc6GpkFySyVtKQOY2j-Vvg0UsChMCFst_WLA/edit#gid=1653697245\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Operation Olive Branch: Spreadsheets + Links</a></p><p><br></p><p>GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com</a></p><p>TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast</a></p><p>OR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast</a></p><p><em>OR WATCH ON YOUTUBE:</em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/juliemerica\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em> www.youtube.com/juliemerica</em></a><em>&nbsp;</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
