The Best Way to Survive Suffering

Everyone does at some point in their lives go through suffering. It could be the anguish of a loved one dying, being diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, battling with the effects of poverty...or for some sitting in lockdown due to the corona virus (lol). 

Suffering forms a part of life that is unavoidable. So I think it is a good idea to figure out how to endure it. That is what this episode is about. To save you from reading a whole book (one that sold 9 million copies by the way), I will briefly summarize for you what Viktor Frankl says on this topic in his book "Man's Search for Meaning". 

Why listen to what he says? Because he was one of the only survivors of Nazzi Germany's concentration camps in Poland. And...he gives powerful insight into what the difference was between those who made it through the concentration camps and those who didn't.
