I mean, clinical depression is a real deal, et cetera.

But every life has suffering.

And by the way, you don't have to go looking for suffering because it'll find you.

But learning how to turn that into opportunity is critical because that will give you meaning and purpose.

You'll grow from your trauma.

You'll grow from your sadness.

And that will give you your life contour and a sense of really what it's all about.

And I've got a lot of examples of that in my current research.

My next book, by the way, is to how to start right in a life of happiness when you're in your 20s.

So this is a lot about what I'm writing about right now.

That's coming out next year.

Yeah.

We need to know the why of our life.

And the why of your life never comes from that fantastic week at the beach in Ibiza.

It doesn't.

It comes from your ability to get over things that were difficult, to find your sense of resiliency, to understand your inner strength.

And all of that comes from challenges.

When I talk to really successful entrepreneurs, I talk to Bernie Marcus, who started the Home Depot.

I say, tell me your story.

He doesn't tell me about the first billion.
