DR. ROBERT PUFF, PH.D.
About this episode

Never Give Up: Finding Your Good Life

This talk dives into the profound truth that a fulfilling life is possible, even after setbacks and difficult experiences. We'll explore the transformative power of hope and the importance of self-belief in overcoming challenges. Discover actionable steps to break free from the weight of the past, redefine what a "good life" means for you, and cultivate the resilience to pursue it relentlessly. This talk offers a message of empowerment and possibility, reminding you that your story is far from over.

The most famous Winston Churchill quote about never giving up is:

"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

This quote was delivered in a speech at Harrow School on October 29th, 1941, during World War II. It became a rallying cry for Britain and a timeless source of inspiration.
