Takeaways
The process of designing and changing one's mind is essential for personal growth and well-being. Virtues, ethics, and values are crucial for living a good life and experiencing deep fulfillment. Suffering is not necessary for happiness, but it can sometimes lead to personal growth and meaning. Taking small steps and focusing on virtue domains can help individuals become the person they admire. Community and support are important for personal development and overcoming challenges. Difficult times can be overcome with the support of community and mentors. Understanding evolutionary psychology can provide insights into self-esteem and well-being. The sociometer theory suggests that self-esteem serves as a fitness indicator in social and sexual selection. The concept of self involves a balance between self-acceptance and self-improvement. Values and beliefs play a significant role in society and can influence individual and collective well-being. Self-compassion and self-acceptance are important for personal growth and happiness.

In this eye episode, we delve deep into the heart of Appalachia to uncover stories of struggle, resilience, and hope in the face of the opioid epidemic.
Takeaways
The lack of treatment options and negative attitudes towards addiction worsen the cycle of incarceration and substance use. Support systems, such as 12-step programs and sponsors, play a crucial role in the recovery process. Advocacy work is vital for addressing challenges in the criminal justice system and advocating for policy changes. There is a need for a multifaceted approach to address poverty, mental health, and addiction in communities, particularly in rural areas. It is crucial to have more resources, such as mental health services and harm reduction strategies, to support individuals dealing with substance use disorder.  Chapters

Amanda's Bio
Amanda Hall is the Campaign Director at Dream.Org and is on a mission to end mass incarceration. Prior to joining Dream.org JUSTICE, she was a Policy Strategist at the ACLU of Kentucky. Amanda's passion stems from being directly impacted by the criminal legal system. Acknowledging that her battle with addiction required professional help, Amanda pleaded with the court system to help her become rehabilitated. As is the case with so many, she was turned away and simply given prison time.  After being denied the help she knew she needed, Amanda vowed to be her own force for change, and once back in her community she gained the support of those around her.  
 
Amanda has been a leader of Kentucky Smart on Crime, a broad-based coalition working for common-sense justice reforms that enhance public safety, strengthen communities, and promote cost effective sentencing alternatives. Prior to policy work, Amanda served as program director of The Healing Place for Women in Louisville, KY.
 
Amanda has recently been featured on ABC11, The Courier Journal, the Let's Talk Reform podcast, and many other outlets.
