We are living in an era in which Americans–especially younger ones–say they are increasingly traumatized. In one recent study, 82% of Gen Z respondents said they regularly felt so sad that nothing could cheer them up. And that was before the pandemic.
What is happening? Are things really worse now than they were for the generation that lived through the world wars? Or the Great Depression? And why does it feel–at least in some parts of the culture–that victimhood grants us status?
George Bonanno has thought deeply about these questions. He’s a clinical psychologist at Columbia University, where he heads the Loss, Trauma, and Emotions Lab, and he has studied the nature of human resilience for over 30 years. Bonanno’s work with war veterans, 9/11 survivors and more provides an antidote to the idea that humans are fragile or helpless in the face of loss, challenge and grief. Instead, Bonanno claims, when people are exposed to violent or life-threatening events, those events are only “potentially traumatic” and that “a good part of the rest of it is up to us.”
His new book is called The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience is Changing How We Think About PTSD.

Beginning in the 16th century, French settlers crossed the Atlantic to settle in a new French colony in the new world. That colony wasn’t modern-day Quebec, however. The colony was known as Acadia.
When the British took control of Acadia in 1713, the Acadians were allowed to stay, but eventually, that privilege was revoked by the British, and those people were scattered to the winds.
Today, the descendants of the Acadians can still be found all over the world.
Learn more about Acadia and the Acadian Expulsion on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It's a good day for Mary Katharine: The Georgia Bulldogs won their first National Championship in more than four decades, trouncing Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the fourth quarter. CDC director Rochelle Walensky said something that actually made sense, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams flakes on President Biden's voting rights speech, and New York City mayor Eric Adams floats vaccine mandates for kids.

Ideas start wars and movements, undergird societies and governments, and shape the daily experiences of our personal lives. We ignore or underestimate the power of ideas to our detriment. And yet they can feel slippery to reckon with; difficult to see, tougher still to understand their complex movement through the world.
Join The Progress Network for a wide-ranging discussion on ideas—which ones are significant now, which may be significant in the future, and how we can participate in ideas' power ourselves—with Joan Blades, co-founder of Living Room Conversations and MoveOn.org, and public intellectual Steven Pinker, author of Enlightenment Now and several other books. Zachary Karabell, founder of The Progress Network, moderates.
This conversation was recorded on May 12, 2021.
What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
