On the sidelines of the G20 summit, Trump met with Putin with a translator. After the meeting, Trump told the translator not to discuss what was said, and confiscated her notes. This is unprecedented. Never happens. Trump’s top aides do not know what was said. Putin does! Putin likely even has a recording giving Russia even more leverage over Trump.

Verified: Trump is not disputing this event. No one really knows what to make of this. Yet.

Emotional Resilience

TAKE-AWAY: Emotional resilience is about developing the ability to withstand and adapt to life’s challenges, setbacks, and disappointments. According to Stoic thought, our emotional reactions stem primarily from our beliefs, judgments, and thoughts about events, rather than the events themselves. By managing your emotions more effectively, you can minimize the negative impact of adversity.
