How To Handle Life's Ups and Downs (Eastern And Western POV)

In this talk, I go over how to handle life's changes which include ups (positive events and growth) and downs (setbacks). From an Eastern perspective, I go over how Taoism can help us understand the cyclical nature of life and honor both Yin and Yang energies. Buddhism allows us to directly see into the nature of impermanence and suffering. From a Western perspective, I go over how your social status affects your resiliency and mood, through the lens of understanding social hierarchies.
