Episode notes

A key aspect of patience in the research literature is of the capacity to delay gratification. Children who just can't wait are more likely to get into trouble with the law, have a drug or alcohol issue and be exposed to different kinds of psychological issues like anxiety or depression. How do we know when we're just being passive instead of being patient? Rideno, if you have any thoughts on that, yes.

On today’s episode of the Being Well Podcast, Dr. Rick Hanson and Forrest continue their focus on the strength of Grit with determination. Particularly, they look at the different aspects of determination, and explore how we can grow each of them over time.
