If you’re feeling anxious or fearful during the coronavirus pandemic, you're not alone. Offering hope and understanding, author Elizabeth Gilbert reflects on how to stay present, accept grief when it comes and trust in the strength of the human spirit. “Resilience is our shared genetic inheritance,” she says. (This virtual conversation is part of the TED Connects series, hosted by head of TED Chris Anderson and head of curation Helen Walters. Recorded April 2, 2020)

Dude , stop spreading false information. Infowars and Alex Jones are conspiracy hacks.
I learned not to give the shirt off my back but to share what I can
I feel overwhelmed after seeing 1h long, goodbye
Make it part of the Audio-Only playlist to listen to when doing something (cleaning, playing a video game, whatever)
@Red Forest , not everyone can focus on audio when doing something else. Personally, I just lose track of what is being said in the background as it becomes additional noise in my ears and my mind begins to filter it out. Always found it interesting how people are able to listen to podcasts while walking, exercising or even working. :/
Reads title: can’t say I’m quite overwhelmed, just worried
Reads video length: well now, that’s overwhelming
haha that was my exact thought!
“I feel angry at myself that I didn’t take it more seriously early on..” 44:05
I didn’t realise I felt it until she said it.
I can completely relate
Those lavender walls are making me feel overwhelmed…
Thank you so much. Lots of us experiencing so much. This helps a few of us help a whole lot more!
Ahh.. The right person to interview for this. Her book The Signature of All Things has a beautiful story about the fever tree that has come to mind recently.
“It seems to me that the less I fight my fear, the less it fights back. If I can relax, fear relaxes, too.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
