Michelle Obama, speaking at SXSW, emphasized the importance of finding hope despite current challenges like job loss and social division. Joined by her brother Craig Robinson and cognitive scientist Laurie Santos, they discussed cultivating a hopeful mindset. Obama shared that reflecting on childhood experiences with adversity helped them develop resilience. She expressed concern over societal issues but stressed the necessity of seeking support rather than facing struggles alone, encouraging positive interactions and managing social media consumption for well-being.
"I worry about folks being out of work, and I worry about how we think about diversity and inclusion. I think about how we treat one another..."
"All of that keeps me up at night, and I know that a lot of people are struggling with some of those things. But I find in those moments that it is better not to try to figure that stuff out alone."
