Dr. Sarah Schnitker and Dr. Kate Sweeny, researchers on patience and coping with uncertainty, team up with meditation legend Sharon Salzberg. They discuss how patience can be nurtured through practices like meditation and cognitive strategies. The trio dives into the emotional challenges of waiting during stressful times and explores the role of mindfulness in fostering emotional well-being. They also touch on the balance between optimism and a healthy dose of pessimism, emphasizing that patience is a skill that can be developed, not merely an innate trait.
