Embracing Adversity to Forge Happiness | Ron Duren | TEDxMcphs

Everyone is in the search for happiness, but many of us find this task elusive. Are common definitions of happiness leading us down the wrong path in our pursuits? Is our happiness model broken? In “Embracing Adversity to Forge Happiness”, Ron proposes a new way of looking at the pursuit of happiness, a new model that makes room for adversity and hardship as necessary ingredients to find the happiness we seek.
