P.S. Being disabled isn't fun. It's also the most expensive thing in life. Buying this book helps support my family. You should do it. P.P.S. Paperback and Hard Cover on the way...

Because if life is going to be hard anyway, the most meaningful question we can ask is this: How do we turn those hardships into an advantage?

100

Adam Van Bavel @adamvanbavel.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Because if life is inherently difficult—and evidence suggests it is—then fulfillment cannot come from eliminating hardship. It must come from learning how to relate to hardship differently.

Adam Van Bavel @adamvanbavel.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

The question is not whether adversity will show up. The question is whether you will know what to do with it when it does. That realization sits at the foundation of this book.

Adam Van Bavel @adamvanbavel.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

The problems aren’t disappearing. In many ways, they’re multiplying. Which means one uncomfortable conclusion becomes unavoidable: Hardship isn’t an exception to life—it’s the default condition.

Adam Van Bavel @adamvanbavel.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

And if we’re honest, it doesn’t look like things are getting easier. Modern life has given us extraordinary comfort, but it's also introduced new forms of pressure—constant comparison, information overload, social fragmentation, and a pace of change that would've been unimaginable a generation ago.

Adam Van Bavel @adamvanbavel.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

No matter who you are, where you live, or how carefully you design your life, difficulty will find you. Plans fail. Relationships fracture. Bodies age. Economies wobble. Technology accelerates faster than our ability to psychologically adapt to it. The world changes whether we’re ready or not.

Why This Book Had to Be Written... Life is hard. That’s not pessimism. That’s math.

Recent shows COVID-19 independently worsens ischemic stroke outcomes: ↑ pneumonia (OR 10.88), ↑ cognitive impairment (OR 5.81), ↑ in-hospital mortality (OR 2.98), and longer LOS (5 vs 3 days). Strong signal for intensified monitoring. #Stroke #COVID19 #ClinicalEpidemiology #HealthOutcomes

An idea a few years in the making. When I first attending LCDC in Washington, D.C. taking part in #LongCOVID advocacy, I knew my privilege in being able to travel. While many are bedridden and unable to leave the house, I wanted to put a focus on change nationally closer to home!

Republicans have given up on governing for the American people and are all-in on serving their wealthy masters. That’s why we’re focused on training one million Americans — this is how we move forward as a movement in the face of Trump’s GOP that does not care about rules, laws, or the courts.

I’ve been in academic medicine for 45 years. This is the first time I’m seeing a perfect storm, as proposed federal funding cuts threaten our ability to provide patient care, train the next generation of doctors, and conduct life-saving research. More from my conversation with @cnn.com last week.

Funding cuts to Medicaid and other programs included in the sweeping tax-and-spending bill would hurt low-income households financially more than the tax cuts would boost their finances, according to nonpartisan analyses of the bill.

GOP tax bill could hurt the poorest households more than it helps them

Cuts to Medicaid and anti-poverty programs wipe out gains low-income households could see from policies like no taxes on tips and overtime, nonpartisan estimates show.
