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.
