The world is now too small for anything but fellowship

The entire team at The Optimist Daily has been working overtime to ensure that we continue to deliver high quality, solution-based journalism in this challenging time. We are seeking not only solutions but also tools that can be of value to you and your loved ones while we step into this changing world. Our global team of writers, tech management, customer support, and leadership has collaborated in ways we never knew we could. It has been a remarkable time to work in the business of positive news media because we know we make a difference. 

We’ve been amazed to observe an increase in readership by more than 164% in the very first week the United States began to combat the Covid-19 pandemic by staying “at home”. With the rise in remote work, there has been a substantial increase in the time people are spending online looking for information to understand the crisis and ways they can be of service. The Optimist Daily is honored to have become a place where thousands of new readers are coming every single day. To fulfill the desire for more positive, solution-based information, we’ve extended our solution’s editorial calendar to publish six days per week, launched a daily podcast called The Optimist Daily Update, launched our Positive Emotional Contagion series, and increased our presence on social media to ensure that we are filling feeds with positive solutions. We are inviting our Emissaries to an online gathering on Tuesday, March 31, 20202 to check-in.

Additionally, we are honored to announce a joint partnership with long-time Optimist and former Editor & Chief of The Optimist Daily, Jurriaan Kamp with his new magazine Kamp Solutions, which we can offer to our Emissary readers for free.   

Our mission remains the same and the tools we are bringing you will help to further advance consciousness with a solution’s based mindset and help change the world for good.  So scroll down to explore these new offerings! 

KAMP SOLUTIONS – An Emissary Benefit

Kamp Solutions is a new quarterly e-magazine produced by long-time Optimist Jurriaan Kamp.  In his introductory editorial, Jurriaan discusses not sustainability, but resilience: “to recover quickly from difficulties… Resilience means adapting, taking the facts in learning the lessons…” He combines the beauty of optimism with the trait of perseverance, explaining to readers that life has its obstacles and we must embrace them to move forward. Kamp Solutions documents information in harmonious kinship with The Optimist Daily’s positive and solutions-oriented approach. The timely magazine offers long reads that explore solutions that work: stories of innovation, technology, business shifts, lifestyle, and what people like our emissaries are doing to put their optimism into action.  We’re thrilled to offer this as a benefit to our supporting Optimist Emissaries.
