This week, I invite you to tune out the continual stream of fear mongering and "doom and gloom" stories, and consider this: By every measurable statistic, life on Earth is better now than it ever has been.

Yes, we still have problems that need solving...
No, we're not perfect...but we're better than ever.

This week, I'm giving you 5 reasons why now is the best time to be alive.
