He makes a compelling case that optimism, gratitude, and acts of forgiveness not only make modern life more fulfilling but are actually in our self-interest. An affirming and constructive way of seeing life anew, \u003ci\u003eThe Progress Paradox\u003c\/i\u003e will change the way you think about your place in the world–and about our collective ability to make it better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eGREGG EASTERBROOK is a senior editor of \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, a contributing editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, a visiting fellow in economics at the Brookings Institution, and a columnist for ESPN.com.
