The Bad News Era (and how to deal with it)

TOPIC

The world has turned upside-down over the past years, with a lot of turmoil and negative news. During this edition of Personal Development Talks Amsterdam we will examine the effect of exposure to negative media messages on our wellbeing, and discuss psychological strategies we can apply to cope with the effect of news in our daily lives. We will brainstorm about ways to cope and contribute to making the world a better place instead of getting drawn into the world of negativity.

What you can expect:

• Learn how to transmute negative news into positive action.• We provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where all opinions can be openly expressed and are equally respected.• No-taboo discussions on difficult and sensitive topics• A chance to meet new, interesting people and connect with like-minded people. We’re in this together!• A boost of inspiration for positive action!
