To kick off our unique daily solutions news service in the New Year, please take a moment to watch this 2-minute video we made. It won’t surprise you that here at The Optimist, we strongly believe in the power of positive news. We know—and you, too—that many, many more things go right than wrong, and that for every problem, people are working on clever solutions. Still, too many people are still on a news diet that mostly consists of things that go bad. So, please share this video far and wide.
Why all of us need more positive news in the New Year
