Following the theft of his iPhone, Jon looks at different strategies for taking a bad turn of events and responding in such a way that it does not end up killing your happiness. Resources mentioned: The books "Learned Optimism" as well as "Flourish" by psychologist Martin Selingman are availeble everywhere. They contains tips such as the What Went Well exercise, and notes on keeping a gratitude journal. "Positivity" by Barbera Fredricson is also a good read. "Radical acceptance" by Tara Brach goes a step further and borrows from buddism. Do you have a comment or a question for Jon? Email him at: [email protected]
