He draws on historical examples, like the eradication of smallpox, to illustrate how collective action can lead to significant change.Inspired by authors like Rutger Bregman, Seth emphasizes the importance of hope and community, referencing the idea of the "beloved community" championed by Martin Luther King Jr. and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.Join Seth as he encourages listeners to envision a realistic utopia where everyone can thrive, despite the challenges we face in today's world.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode to help spread the message of hope and positive change!Links:Read Rutger Bregman's books: https://bookshop.org/search?keywords=...
