What does it take to get used to a new life situation – what can accelerate acceptance, and what can slow it down? Would we rather bluntness or optimism from our doctors? How might it help to be stoic, as well as to have a purpose or wish to accomplish something in life? Can a challenging circumstance or diagnosis lead to actual improvement of life quality, and how?
Dan talks in this episode with the stoic and exemplary construction-worker-turned-college-history-professor Jack Every about much more than Jack’s Diabetes-caused blindness.
