In the societies in which most of us live, our capitalist economic
systems run on transactions—on individual sales of goods and
services. But are you aware that there are other infrastructures of
support and help that meet our need for information, connection,
even love? We live with gift economies that already enrich our
lives. We start our story with professional disruptor, clinical
psychologist and entrepreneur Dr. Glen Moriarty, founder of one of
the most innovative, free global mental health systems on the
planet—a community called Seven Cups, where over 570,000 trained
volunteer listeners provide emotional support to users in 189
countries in 140 languages.
Dr. Moriarty and his research partner, Dr. Sarah Schnitker,
professor of psychology and neuroscience, principal investigator of
the Science of Virtues Lab, and director of the Baylor Research and
Growth in Human Thriving Science Center at Baylor University in
Waco, Texas are turning assumptions upside down about the systems
in which we connect, heal, and thrive in the modern digital
age.
