Zócalo Public Square

Washington Post staff writer Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time, visited Zócalo to discuss why Americans haven't figured out how to lead balanced lives, and what we can do as individuals and a nation to get some relief from the chaos of modern life.

Ethan Zuckerman, winner of the 2014 Zócalo Book Prize for Rewire: Becoming Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection, explained why the Internet has made our understanding of the world more narrow rather than more rich and global—and how we might be able to change that. The 2014 Zócalo Book Prize was sponsored by the California Community Foundation.

Chamber of Commerce president Gary Toebben, and Southern California Association of Governments executive director Hasan Ikhrata talked with NBC4 reporter Conan Nolan about the future of the embattled 710, and what it means for the entire Southern California region.
