ISSUE 07: SIGNAL & NOISE

The world can feel like it’s lurching from one crisis to the next – and it’s easy to meet that with fear, or to switch off altogether. This issue asks a different question: what does it take to build hope, deliberately, when the news gives you every reason not to?

We speak with Harvard professor Arthur Brooks and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explore where meaning and fulfilment actually come from. We travel to Ethiopia, where ancient church forests are preserving what’s left of the natural landscape. And Paul van Zyl reflects on working to help South Africa reconcile with its past.

Hope isn’t a feeling. It’s a way of engaging with the world.
