A Veritas Forum at Cornell University

Cornell culture valorizes a can-do spirit training students into planning, problem solving, and thinking strategically about their life. But the same approach that works well in securing internships and forging 10 year career plans falls short in dealing with the inevitable unexpected storms that life throws at us, the kind of storms that one cannot problem-solve or work harder to get out of. Yet virtually every ancient wisdom tradition thought that one could prepare oneself for those types of storms by taking on a different mindset. We’ll hear tonight from experts in two of these traditions and how they help build your capacity to face life-scale upheaval in the future (or right now).
