Would life be better if we never experienced adversity? Would we really be happier if we removed all anger and sadness from our lives? First step is recognizing the challenge and then determining if it's a challenge that will benefit or harm us. This episode introduces a series focused on what prevents us from overcoming the challenges in our lives and how those challenges can often make life worth living. Eric explains his struggle with common challenges in the past while also setting up the types of guests he'll have on the show for the series.
