In this podcast episode, Dan Harris and Laurie Santos explore how failure can be a powerful catalyst for mental well-being, drawing from their own experiences with panic and career challenges. They advocate for viewing failure not as a source of embarrassment, but as an opportunity for growth and resilience. By nurturing self-compassion, accepting negative emotions, and embracing a mindset of radical optimism, individuals can tackle life’s difficulties, learn valuable lessons, and foster both personal and professional growth.
