Summary
On this Friday's Happiness Hour, Dennis delves into a crucial topic that can have a significant impact on our happiness: perceiving ourselves as victims. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about a young woman who stopped talking to her mother for eight years, only to be told by her therapist that it was a healthy decision. However, Dennis Prager argues that this kind of thinking can be detrimental to our well-being and happiness.
