Presenter: Christopher Mannino
Service Description:
It's easy in today's world to give into despair or pessimism. From climate change to wars, gun violence to politics, it often feels that nothing's going right. Yet, the danger of despair is it's ability to render us motionless. Mannino embraces radical optimism. Through both anecdotes and a tie to mainstream religions, Mannino invites members to attempt a week of radical optimism on their own.
