What I Discuss With Abi Morgan About the Importance of Hope Abi Morgan explains, "If people took one thing away from my book, it would be hope. Hope you’re not alone. Hope that there can be joy again. Hope that you can survive something truly, leftfield. Hope that you can turn the world back upside down the right way. That’s what I would hope for hope." 0:00 Teaser and Annoucements 3:02 Introducing Abi Morgan 4:30 Nomadic Upbringing 8:47 Working with Merry Streep, Ralph Fines, and Carrie Mulligan 13:02 Abi Morgan's hit show The Split 15:30 Why Divorce isn't a failure 18:56 This is Not a Pity Memoir Overview 23:35 We all go through some kind of crisis 27:04 Why Abi felt like an imposter 30:03 Spending seven months in a coma 34:47 Delusional misidentification condition 37:09 You change your attitude towards mortality 40:08 Tiny superhero acts that were everywhere 44:57 The importance of hope 48:05 Analysis and wrap-up Where to Find Abi Morgan: *This is Not a Pity Memoir is Being Adapted for TV * The Split Can Be Viewed Now In the United States: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/abi-morgan-the-split-iron-lady-b2078275.html *Instagram: https://whttps://www.instagram.com/abimorgan9/ Show Links * My solo episode on Why Average Choices Lead to an Average Life: https://passionstruck.com/why-average-choices-lead-being-mediocre/ * My interview with Kara Robinson Chamberlain on how she escaped from a kidnapping by a serial killer: https://passionstruck.com/kara-robinson-chamberlain-be-vigilant/ * My interview with Jean Oelwang on the power of partnerships: https://passionstruck.com/jean-oelwang-what-will-you-love-into-being/ * My interview with Sara Mednick, Ph.D. on the power of the downstate and its impact on performance and health: https://passionstruck.com/sara-mednick-recharge-your-brain-body/ * My interview with Katy Milkman, Ph.D. on how to create lasting behavior change: https://passionstruck.com/katy-milkman-behavior-change-for-good/ * My interview with David Yaden, Ph.D. on self-transcendence, psychedelics, and behavior change: https://passionstruck.com/david-yaden-on-self-transcendence-experiences/ * My interview with Michael Slepian Ph.
