Empowering a More Accurate Worldview
We are fighting an onslaught of negativity and misinformation in the news. It is inescapable and has a powerful impact on our worldview, mindset and behaviour. We must develop the necessary skills to stand guard at the doors of our own minds. Our individual wellbeing - and wellbeing of the world - depends on it.
