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-up
 s\, the death of a loved one\, or a health or job or financial blow). The 
 solution of a personal crisis also requires adopting selective changes\, w
 hich some of us are more successful at accomplishing than are others of us
 . Counselors and psychotherapists have identified many factors that make i
 t more or less likely that an individual will overcome a personal crises. 
 I’ll examine the extent to which similar considerations help understand 
 the outcomes of recent and impending national crises and the impending wor
 ld crises.\n\nThis talk is jointly hosted by the Centre for the Study of E
