David is a Unitarian Universalist friend from First Parish in Concord, MA. He was also one of our TEDxWaldenPond speakers. He joined Bill Maher last night on Real Time to discuss how humans process risk perception. His comments may help ease the sense of fear many of us are feeling.
HERE is a Link to David’s TEDxWaldenPond talk: “The risk perception gap.”
And, a link to David’s book: “How Risky Is It, Really?: Why Our Fears Don’t Always Match the Facts“

Grateful for time with family this weekend on an Ice Castle adventure in New Hampshire!
We are so blessed to have a wonderful friendship with our son-in-law’s parents. My heart fills with joy knowing that many of our grandchildren’s memories will contain adventures like this with them being surrounded by two sets of loving grandparents. Looking forward to this summer when our Canadian children and grandchildren will join us in Maine for such full-family fun adventures.
Every moment counts. ❤️ 🎶
