Conversation on living with suffering

Ooooo we love a good podcast. (It was so good we couldn’t have just one quote!)

Thank you to Arthur C. Brooks and The Atlantic for this great conversation on living with suffering and how joy and pain are two sides of the same coin.

There is paradox in our pursuit of happiness: joy comes to those who have known pain. In order to overcome struggle—breakups, illness, even death—we must first accept and acknowledge its inevitability. Exploring the darkness of our suffering may seem counterintuitive, but often it’s the only way to see the light.

BJ Miller talks about facing our deepest fears, why we should accept our natural limitations as human beings, and how to make peace with the ebb and flow of joy and suffering in human life—an experience we all share.
