🔍 What if avoiding pain makes life worse?
Discover the surprising science behind why adversity may be essential for happiness and growth.

In this episode of The Pursuit of Truth, Dr. Omar Haque challenges the modern obsession with comfort and reveals a profound paradox: too little adversity may increase suffering — not reduce it. Drawing from groundbreaking psychological research, social science, and deep philosophical inquiry, this video will change how you think about pain, parenting, resilience, and personal development. Discover why the Goldilocks Zone of Suffering may be the secret to real flourishing—and how too little adversity can make us fragile.
