PETER DIAMANDIS - Let's Focus on What's Right With the World

Diamandis also writes fascinatingly about how we are wired to filter out good news: "The amygdala is the part of the temporal lobe responsible for primal emotions like rage, hate, and fear. It's our early warning system, an organ always on high alert, whose job is to find anything in our environment that could threaten survival. So potent is the amygdala's response to potential threats that once turned on, it's almost impossible to shut off, and this is a problem in the modern world."
