We are conditioned to believe that perfect health, status, and successful careers are the key to happiness. But despite our perfection-performance oriented culture, many find themselves living lives of chronic illness, pain and disability that challenge this paradigm. In the media, we celebrate stories of heroes who have persevered despite the odds and triumphed over hardship but the reality is often less storybook. There isn’t always a cure for what ails us.
