The Optimism Daily: Change your perspective, change the world
“If it bleeds, it leads” has been the hallmark of “news” for almost 100 years. Violence and infotainment (information provided for entertainment) dominate, confusing readers and leading many of us to hide or simply tune out. This infotainment distracts us from real issues. The doom-and-gloom news narratives hold us back from collaborative action.
We need a new model.
The Optimist Daily is your antidote to fear and distraction—five news stories about real solutions that are happening now around the globe—free and in your inbox every weekday. We focus on news stories about innovative people, breakthrough collaboration, new models, and ancient wisdom, helping our readers start each day with a perspective of possibility and enthusiasm.
Our goal is to provide The Optimist Daily service to 100,000,000 people because Einstein was right when he said, “No problem can be solved by the same kind of thinking that created it.”
Together we can create a different world. JOIN US!
What is The Optimist Daily?
At a Glance
The Optimist Daily is a global news service dedicated to reporting Solutions News. Instead of focusing on war, suffering, and disaster, we identify and aggregate positive solutions that are working right now to address our many challenges. This approach is the antidote to the dark and depressing news narrative that currently dominates our media.
A morning dose of The Optimist Daily feeds the positive voice in our minds, expanding our creativity, our optimism, and our sense of purpose. Our experience has shown that a steady diet of optimism can cultivate more hopeful and inspired people.
