Nicholas Kristof: Hope is a Muscle

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nicholas Kristof understands how to hope-especially in the face of despair or disappointment. He has spent his life shining a light onto global tragedies like the Tiananmen Square massacre or the genocide in Darfur. And yet, despite all the horrors he has born witness to, he maintains a sense of hard-won optimism. “Hope is a muscle,” he says, and one we can all learn to develop.
In this live conversation, Kate and Nicholas discuss:
How to maintain hope in the year ahead
Nicholas’ best argument as to why this is the best time to be alive
His strategies to seeing pain and courage up close over and over again
Why our small actions matter (even when it feels like a drop in the ocean)

“The quote, ‘The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic’ is often attributed to Joseph Stalin.”
