It smooths you up, but it hurts along the way. Michael Mantell, PhD shares profound lessons on resilience, healing, gratitude, and turning setbacks into success.
Michael was my special guest on Voices With Vigor’s “Men Who Matter” series, just a few months ago. This intimate conversation is still in my head, and now you can enjoy watching our video in the free VWV Video Library!
After a wow factor intro (aka Michael’s incredible bio), we settled into a personal discussion of myriad interwoven topics, including:
💎 The box diagram of how life works – events, thoughts, feelings, reactions
💎 Four essential links:
- Not everything is possible, but so what?
- Focus on what’s going right and be grateful for it
- Change is always for the good
- Leave no room in your mind for anything negative
💎 The power of autonomy
💎 Suffering and healing
… and many other pearls of wisdom, such as Michael’s HAPPY acronym:
❤️ H – Heart open

🎯 P – Present in connection
🎈 P – Playful in spirit
