According to Buddhism, the people who really test us also have the most to teach us.

During this Insight Timer Live, David will explore the practice of seeing difficult or frustrating people not as enemies, but as catalysts for working with our own impatience, anger, and attachment.

This radical practice suggests treating all life events - joy and pain alike - as opportunities to understand our own mind, and cultivate happier, healthier approaches to life and its challenges.

We hope this discussion offers practical ideas about how to meet difficult people with greater equanimity and wellbeing, without becoming a doormat. Just in time for the festive season!
