At a time when more & more people are facing extended periods of time at home or in isolation because of #CoronavirusOutbreak, you may be interested in a @BBCRadio4 series I made in Sept 2018 called 'Morality in the 21st Century' (h/t producers: Christine Morgan & @dondantini). 
In this five-part series (and the extended conversations) I explored some of the big moral questions of our time, including the need to move from an 'I' to a 'We' society. All episodes and extended conversations are available here: bbc.in/3cyZDXS.
As part of the series, I spoke to some of the world's most brilliant thinkers incl. @jordanbpeterson, @noreenahertz, @jean_twenge, @nytdavidbrooks, @JonHaidt, @RobertDPutnam, @mustafasuleymn, Prof Nick Bostrom, @sapinker, @melindagates & Prof Michael Sandel.
In 2017 I was honoured to deliver a @TEDTalks in which I spoke about how we could face the future without fear, together. Faced with the sudden challenge of #Coronovirus, this talk seems all the more pertinent. You can watch or read it in full at bit.ly/2w8BXsQ.
In the @TEDTalks, I argued that the simplest way to safeguard the future 'You' was by strengthening the future 'Us' in three dimensions: the 'Us' of #relationship, the 'Us' of #identity and the 'Us' of #responsibility. Never has this seemed more true than in today's world.
I also offered a suggestion of how this could be done. Do a search and replace operation on the text of your mind and wherever you encounter the word "self," substitute the word "other."
