DESCRIPTION:Nations experience crises\, whose solution requires adopting s
 elective changes\, and which some nations are more successful at solving t
 han are other nations. We as individuals also experience personal crises\,
  either associated with certain ages (e.g.\, teenage or midlife crises) or
  else triggered by external shocks (e.g.\, relationship problems or break-
 ups\, the death of a loved one\, or a health or job or financial blow). Th
 e solution of a personal crisis also requires adopting selective changes\,
  which some of us are more successful at accomplishing than are others of 
 us. Counselors and psychotherapists have identified many factors that make
  it more or less likely that an individual will overcome a personal crisis
 . I’ll examine the extent to which similar considerations help understan
 d the outcomes of recent and impending national crises and the impending w
 orld crises.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nJared Diamond is the professor of Geo
 graphy at UCLA\, and the Pulitzer-prize winning author of Guns\, Germs\, 
 and Steel\, Collapse\, and other books.
