How to be Hopeful with Bernadette Russell

Bernadette Russell is a writer and performer who is also an expert in kindness and hope. In 2011 she happened upon an idea, to do a daily act of kindness every day for a year, and quickly learned how quickly kindness can spread and how, if you actually look for it, you can see kindness everywhere. In this episode Bernadette and I discuss: - The benefits of kindness. - What to do if kindness isn't accepted. - How to manage your expectations around kindness. - The positivity bias that exists in children that we lose as we age. - The link between hope and compassion. - How hope can gather pace when you share it with others. - How to use hope as a way to quiet negativity. Bernadette's book How to Be Hopeful is available now from all good book shops. To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.
