Synopsis
Tides of Resilience is a raw, unforgettable memoir of survival, trauma, and the long road to healing.
From the sun-soaked beaches of Thailand to the shadowy corners of addiction and grief, John Bromfield retraces his journey through the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami — a moment that changed everything. What begins as a tale of travel and friendship becomes a harrowing account of disaster, guilt, and the quiet devastation that follows survival.
Told with brutal honesty and flashes of unexpected humour, this is a story about confronting the past, making peace with memory, and discovering that resilience doesn’t mean being unbreakable — it means learning how to rebuild

From the Back Cover
Tides of Resilience is a raw, emotionally charged memoir that charts one man's journey from trauma and addiction to healing and self-discovery.
John Bromfield survived the deadliest natural disaster in history, but that was just he beginning.
On 26th December 2004 a wall of water tore through paradise and changed everything. What followed was a far more insidious tsunami: one of undiagnosed PTSD, addiction, ignorance, shame and silence.
Tides traces his two decade journey from the beaches of Thailand to the therapy rooms of London. From self-destruction to sobriety. From being lost in memory to learning how to live in the present.
This is not just a memoir of what happened. It's a story about what it means to survive.

Tides of Resilience : Beyond the Wave
Print on DemandSeller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - On the 26th December 2004, John Bromfield found himself on Thailand's Phi Phi Island as the Indian Ocean tsunami unleashed one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history. Surviving the wave should have been the end of the story. Instead, it was only the beginning.In Tides of Resilience: Beyond the Wave, Bromfield shares the extraordinary true story of a journey that spans continents, decades, and the hidden aftermath of trauma. What follows the tsunami is an unflinchingly honest account of living with PTSD, battling addiction, wrestling with shame, and searching for meaning in a life that no longer felt familiar.With humour, humility, and remarkable candour, Bromfield reflects on a life shaped by adventure, loss, self-destruction, love, and ultimately healing. From backpacking across Southeast Asia to confronting the darkest corners of his own mind, he explores how unresolved trauma can quietly shape our decisions, relationships, and identity long after the headlines have faded.This is more than a survival story. It is a memoir about resilience, recovery, and the difficult truth that escaping disaster does not always mean escaping its consequences. Through therapy, self-reflection, and an unwavering determination to rebuild, Bromfield discovers that healing is not a destination but a lifelong journey-one built through courage, honesty, and hope.Powerful, deeply personal, and often unexpectedly funny, Tides of Resilience: Beyond the Wave will resonate with readers of inspirational memoirs, true survival stories, and books exploring trauma recovery, mental health, addiction, and personal transformation.For anyone who has faced adversity, questioned their own resilience, or wondered whether life can be rebuilt after unimaginable loss, this memoir offers a powerful reminder: while tragedy can change us forever, it does not have to define who we become.

Tides of Resilience (Paperback)
Print on DemandSeller: CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tides of Resilience: Beyond the Wave is a gripping, genre-bending memoir by debut author John Bromfield - a raw, cinematic journey through trauma, travel, and the long road to healing.At its core, this is the story of two friends who set out to escape the shadows of tragedy and find meaning in the chaos of the world. From the streets of London to the temples of Thailand, from rooftop parties in LA to backwater jungles in Borneo, the memoir captures the highs of adventure and the lows of self-destruction - all shadowed by a single moment that changed everything: surviving the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.Told through vivid, graphic-novel-style flashbacks, pop culture references, dry British humour, and brutally honest reflection, Tides of Resilience charts one man's descent into grief, addiction, and PTSD - and the difficult, defiant climb back out. What begins as a hedonistic escape becomes a slow reckoning with buried trauma, lost friends, and the question that haunts every survivor: Why me?Spanning more than two decades and multiple continents, this memoir blends the pace of a thriller with the heart of a confessional. It is as much about backpacking and bravado as it is about silence, shame, and the search for self. Whether reliving a therapy breakthrough, a near-drowning in Portugal, or a chaotic night in Saigon, Bromfield writes with searing clarity and emotional depth.This is a book for anyone who's ever run away to find themselves - and discovered just how far the past can chase you. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9798993428512
