In this episode, we continue our exploration the intersection of some of the biggest and most powerful ideas in history and modern science using Johnathan Haidt’s The Happiness Hypothesis as our guide. This week we put the trauma-informed lens on the concept of higher powers and experiences. How does the research and values help us understand resiliency and post-traumatic growth?
Discussion Questions:
