How to Make a Difference: Part 2

In the second part of their conversation, psychologist Martin Seligman explains how we can strengthen our sense of agency, learn to see new possibilities, and build confidence in our ability to shape what happens next. The episode moves from last week's discussion of why some people come to believe their actions don't matter, to the practical question of how to rebuild that belief.
