Dr. Dennis Charney - Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges

What this episode covers

When our guests talk about their experiences overcoming adversity, it’s personal, it’s unique… or is it? Certainly the stories we’ve heard vary wildly, it’s what drives this podcast and keeps us making it and hopefully you coming back, but when you get to the core of it, is there something we all poses, that we as share humans, maybe it’s buried deep within us and waiting to be tapped when life is at it’s most severe? We’ll attempt to answer that question today with a neurobiology expert. Dr. Dennis Charney. His work and research spanning nearly 50-years around anxiety, fear, and depression — and their treatments — has contributed to our understanding of the psychology and biology of human resilience. He’s worked with natural disaster survivors, combat veterans, and most recently COVID-19 frontline healthcare workers He is co-author of the book: RESILIENCE: THE SCIENCE OF MASTERING LIFE’S GREATEST CHALLENGES - recently updated updated for a post-COVID world.
