Looking for the good in life can be challenging when things seem dark. But no matter how rough life might be, amazing things still happen in the world.

Lucia Knell, the Vice President of Upworthy, curates uplifting content that inspires millions of people on social media. She’s now the author of a book called Good People, in which she shares heartwarming stories from their community. She’s no stranger to Mental Health struggles and is acutely aware of how mighty kindness and compassion can be. Some of the things we talk about are:

• The impact newsfeeds have on our perception of the world
• How to curate a social media feed that is good for your mental health
• The power of small acts of kindness
• How to start seeing more good in the world
• Strategies for managing your mental health
