What if the secret to happiness is expecting life to go wrong? Dennis Prager argues that happiness doesn’t come from avoiding life’s problems—it comes from understanding that problems are inevitable. Life is an obstacle course, filled with potholes, red lights, disappointments, and unexpected setbacks. The key is learning how to navigate them without letting every setback destroy your happiness.

Dennis explains why expecting life to be difficult can actually make you happier, why we shouldn’t take the good days for granted, and why the absence of problems is itself something to appreciate. He also discusses how relationships, family, faith, health, and the people we surround ourselves with can provide lasting sources of happiness—even when life delivers its inevitable blows.
