Living with Adversity | David Benatar

What does it mean to live with adversity? How ought we respond to the suffering of others? How can we adapt to hardship?
Adversity is a universal experience. Nearly everyone, at some point, faces physical, psychological, or social challenges, and yet suffering often goes unnoticed.
David Benatar joins us to discuss these questions on the human condition, provoked by his book 'Living with Adversity,' a collection of personal accounts of suffering.
