Practical Self-Discovery

Derived from Buddhist wisdom, this mental model helps you distinguish between unavoidable pain and optional emotional suffering. Life throws 'first arrows' at us in the form of unfortunate events, but we often shoot ourselves with a 'second arrow' of judgment and resistance. Learn to identify and arrest this secondary reactivity to preserve your energy and peace of mind.
