The Black Sheep LIVE: All The Good News You Aren't Seeing
Salomé's livestream from December 14th, 2024
What if things are better than you think? There's good news happening almost every day, yet we spend vastly more time fixated on the bad news. While bad news is bad, humans also have a negativity bias: an innate proclivity to fixate and over-value negative things. While this has helped us survive by being sensitive to potential threats, it can also make us irrational and prone to creating new problems because we can't recognize a good thing when we have it.
So I'm rounding up stories of good news and explaining how they counter the doom-and-gloom narratives many people have today.
I’ll be live-streaming multiple times a week to keep you in the loop on all things black sheep, from highlighting examples of groupthink to musings on how to live a freer life. You can join my livestreams on YouTube, Instagram, and X, generally every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday evening. Your questions and comments are encouraged, so participate on whatever platform works best for you!
