What can two of Canada's leading psychiatrists teach us about coping with life's greatest challenges?
In this episode of The Prosperous and Happy Life, I sit down with Dr. Robert G. Maunder, Chair in Health and Behaviour at Sinai Health and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, and Dr. Jonathan Hunter, Pencer Chair in Applied General Psychiatry at Sinai Health and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.
Drawing on decades of clinical experience, research, and thousands of conversations with patients facing illness, trauma, uncertainty, and loss, they share practical, evidence-based strategies for navigating life's most difficult moments.
We discuss:
✔️ Why some coping strategies make us feel worse over time
✔️ How to better navigate uncertainty and adversity
✔️ The powerful role of relationships, gratitude, and meaning
✔️ Practical tools for managing difficult emotions
✔️ What decades of research reveal about resilience and well-being
This thoughtful and practical conversation offers valuable insights for anyone facing a challenge, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to build greater resilience.
