Показать описание
In his emotional Talk Thomas Coombes tells a story of hope.
Social change activists are very good at talking about what they are against, but less good at selling the change they want to see to the wider public. Their emotional tools tend to be fear, outrage and disgust, but neuroscience shows us that if we want more empathy in the world - we need people to feel more hope and joy and even humour! Thomas Coombes idea, hope-based communications, involves five simple shifts in the way we think and speak that anyone can apply in order to better promote the world we want. Using it, activists can change the narrative in debates to make their proposals “common sense” and create the passionate public support without which big change cannot happen. To that end, Progressives need to be as effective in using modern communications to trigger hope as populists are at triggering fear.

As a Burmese who lives in darkest days, this video gives me full of hope. Thank you so much. I wish we all can find hope in our own stories.

Wow! Excellent. How this video doesn't have 1 million views is shocking. We need to hear this message now more than ever. Thank you!!

I appreciate how honest he is to mentioned that he used "guilt and fear" as his approach as a lot of people trying to avoid "negative" words or approach in lots of things in nowadays..

Fantastic speech. We should all try to shift our mindsets and consciously decide to find and see hope and opportunity in situations that seems to be troublesome. Also you mentioned great points about human rights. This video needs more views!
