The American economy revolves around credit. We use credit cards for everyday purchases like gas and groceries, but we also take out major loans to pay for school, homes and automobiles. But what if we lived in a world without credit? How would this affect our financial system and our daily lives? Would it reshape human history? On the last episode of this season of Downside Up, Chris Cillizza considers these questions with sociologists Sarah Quinn and Monica Prasad, and New York Times business reporter Emily Flitter.

Eighty years ago, Congress formalized a 40 hour work week in the United States. That policy hasn't changed since then, even though today's workforce looks very different than it did in the 1940s. With so many people working from home these days or dropping out of the workforce altogether, is it time we rethink our employment laws? What if we worked four days a week instead of five? Would it completely upend our work culture? This week on Downside Up, Chris Cillizza is joined by Anne Helen Petersen, author of “Out of Office;” Angela Garbes, author of “Essential Labor;” and Charlotte Lockhart, founder of the nonprofit 4 Day Week - Global, to explore what the world would look if everyone works fewer hours.

Sneaker culture is a multibillion dollar business. It's long shaped the way we think about sports, music and fashion. And today the sneakers we choose to wear define who we are as people. Somewhere in the last hundred years, a shoe that was designed exclusively for exercise was transformed into a status symbol and a work of art. How did this come to be? And what would our world look like if sneaker culture didn't exist as it does today? This week on Downside Up, Chris Cillizza considers these questions with fashion historian Elizabeth Semmelhack and Sneakerheads Jacques Slade and Nick Engvall.

College sports is big business in America. Thanks to TV contracts, sponsorships and merchandise deals, the NCAA has grown into a multi-billion dollar brand. And for most of the last century, the league also controlled who had access to those dollars. Until recently, college athletes could not make any money from their talent. Now things are starting to change, which could put the National Collegiate Athletic Association on a path to obsolescence. This week on Downside Up, Chris Cillizza is joined by player rights attorney Tim Nevius, professional tennis player Brittany Collens, and ESPN personalities Jay Bilas and Paul Finebaum to discuss what the world might look like if the NCAA didn't exist.

Gratitude

Life is Magical

Welcome back to another episode... I am sharing some insights on how Gratitude changed my life and so it can work for you as well. "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." -- Oprah Winfrey Even though I learned about Gratitude and practiced it all my life, the logic didn't hit me entirely until I went through my journey in the year 2009. This journey made me connect all the dots. It was like when I was being examined to what I learned growing up and giving my answers. The day I turned around from self-pity to self-acceptance and prayed the simple word "thank you" to god, my life got better. The day that my husband said, "you are not as bad as you imagine in your head. You are alive and celebrate it," changed my life DOWNSIDE UP. Yes, at that time, it did hurt me deep down that he did hurt me saying that, but after few days, I realized it's okay if I can't get out of bed until an hour struggling and feed my kids, but I am ALIVE. I am alive to see them smiling and started asking for help from the universe. I stopped moaning about my ill health instead saw the blessings of having two wonderful kids around me and a helping and caring husband. What else did I want in that self-acceptance moments? I was being accepted by my family more quickly than my self-acceptance of who I am. I re-created myself, where years ago I couldn't accept myself and hurt myself physically and emotionally all my life. Gratitude is the knowing that everything is in perfect, Divine order as it should be right now. Don't consider Gratitude to hope that it will all work out; it's thankful that it already has. Believe in it as it already happened. Write the Gratitude Journal Start cultivating this new habit of being grateful in your life in all aspects and identify where they are and this brings in more of it. It's a mirror reflection. You gather more and get to see them doubling up. No matter how small it is, keep collecting these treasures of moments. Could a smile from a stranger down the road? Or giving a helping hand to a neighbor. Look around with an open eye to be grateful for. You will see life from a different perspective. Write down the things you are grateful for in your life if it means only one thing right now. For example, you are breathing. Ask your inner guide to bring in more, which means bringing you closer to nature to get fresh air or creating a space to breathe in sincerely etc and draw an infinity symbol beside it. Every day when you pray remind of this and show Gratitude. I welcome my life fully with being present.
