Hi everybody.

This short segment is what we call for the good of the order.

It's something we used to do at the end of my sorority meetings, if you can believe that,

nature. I mean, we wouldn't have made it this far, so say these experts, had we not been able to bounce back from really hard traumatic things.

So the first time I heard it was George Bonano, who has been a guest on the pod,

we'll put a link to his episode in the show notes.

He's at Columbia and he did one of these meta studies
