If nothing has inherent meaning, why not choose joy, kindness, love, or connection? That’s the whole idea behind optimistic nihilism.
Instead of saying, “Nothing matters, so why bother?” try saying, “Nothing comes with meaning, so I get to create a life that feels meaningful.”
On the latest episode of the podcast, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are joined by Evita Sawyers to explore why choosing hope and joy isn’t naive, why cynicism often becomes an excuse to avoid vulnerability, and how the meaning we create shapes the way we show up in our relationships.
If you’re tired of doom scrolling and ready to believe that connection is worth the risk, this conversation is for you.
