Dennis Prager on Resilience, Gratitude, and Finding Happiness After Tragedy

Instead of allowing suffering to define his life, he focuses on what he still has: his survival, his loving family, and his ability to continue contributing intellectually. He also discusses his refusal to blame God for his circumstances and explains how his philosophy has helped him resist depression and avoid falling into a mindset of helplessness.
