Meditation
Dan Harris, the TV news journalist, wrote the book 10% Happier to describe how he successfully brought meditation into his life. I liked his approach: curious, secular, pragmatic, approachable. He now has a podcast, app, and You Tube show. (See what I mean?) I heard him on Fresh Air. Terry Gross thought he would be a good person to talk to about corona anxiety. She was right. I’m going to check him out again.
Collective vs. Individual Action
Axios summed it up: "If the U.S. can't muster anything like a unified response to the clear and present danger of a pandemic, how will we manage a long-term global threat like climate change or the wrenching economic transformation from automation?"
The countries that have successfully wrestled with the virus have done so with the collective approach. They will move on without us.
