C-emotional consequences- do not stem from A-adversitybut from B-your beliefs about the adversity. Adversity Is not
connected to emotion directly. For example,. The sergeants
work through a series of professional As (you fall out of a
three mile run) and personal As (you return from
deployment, and your son does not want to play basketball).
The goal is to be able to separate the adversity (A) from what
he says to himself in the heat of the moment (B) and from
the emotions or actions his thoughts generate (C).
What are the skill building dimensions (e.g. Hunt the Good Stuff)
and what is the value in them for undergraduates now?

The more money people earn, the more life satisfaction they have due to
the fact that they dont have to worry or dress about financial issues.
Except, earning money only causes satisfaction until a certain point. Once
an individual reaches that point, satisfaction dwindles.
If someone finds meaning in their career, any job, no matter how much
you hate it, can have a positive effect. Forming relationships with youe
coworkers also can increase life satisfaction.
I worked as a waitress and I really didnt enjoy it, but I found a positive
meaning. Being a waitress helped me with my public speaking skills. It
also helped me bond with people I just met. I learned a lot about myself
and the people around me.
What implications might this have for undergraduates?
