Are We In a Transformational Moment? with John Wood, Jr.
from What Could Go Right? · host The Progress Network with Zachary Karabell and Emma Varvaloucas
Life has gotten a lot better for a lot of people. But the story of upward movement, while true overall, is not felt equally across society. We see the consequences of that playing out in the United States, where tension over our immediate failures, not celebration over our big-picture successes, carries the day. In this episode, we speak with public intellectual John Wood Jr, a national leader at Braver Angels, an organization dedicated to depolarizing politics, about the power of inner transformation to fuel societal change and how a multiplicity of American identities and stories can be unproblematic if we develop a new national sensibility of goodwill. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
