The more we are able to manage our suffering in life, the happier we will be. It's difficult to be happy when we are miserable! Of course, some suffering is part of the human condition and inescapable. Yet, we often suffer more than we need to or should. The Buddha taught how attachment is the root of our suffering, and he was onto something there. Some of our attachments are necessary and healthy, but when we become overly attached, we become vulnerable to suffering. Please join me, Dr. Mike Brooks, and my trusty intern, Patrick Kennedy, as we explore this topic within our series on suffering!
