What We Gain from Pain
Manage episode 333448907 series 2799532
We've all heard the saying, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." But is there any truth to this idea? This week, we explore the concept of post-traumatic growth with psychologist Eranda Jayawickreme. He finds that suffering can have benefits — but not necessarily the ones we expect.
If you like this show, be sure to check out our other work, including our recent episode about how we define intelligence.
