Sustaining Hope in Uncertain Times
By Dane Jensen
March 15, 2022
In this episode:
We look at a ‘do good’ paradigm idea of how to deal with uncertainty. To overcome depression and anxiety and ignite hope. But we discover that visioning a better future has bad side-effects for social systems and planetary health. Thank goodness there is a better way to do all three at the same time.

Thank you!!!!
Carol Sanford and Zac Swartout, co-hosts
Hi Carol and Zac,
Thank you both, and Carol, I never tire of hearing your thoughts and perspective.
I thoroughly enjoyed this session. The concept, the content, the style and the tone were perfect.
It really encourages one to push one’s thinking, stetch ones mind and consider how we fit into this world, the world being a living system which we share and of which we are just one part.
The conversation about the importance of being nested, system actualisation rather than self actualisation and confidence and trust in yourself, having a framework in mind and something you really care about were further stimulating nuggets.
Thank you so much.
