In the previous several sections, we have explored three key principles of the A2A Model:

How adversity creates empathy

How empathy drives service

How service provides purpose

Now, let’s zero in on the final, and most important, element: resilience.

In this next video, Drs. Dacher Keltner, Stephen Hinshaw, and Helen Riess break down the physiological benefits of purpose and service, the interaction between biology and experience, and why resilience can be strengthened over time.
