About this title

Synopsis

What is it in people that enables them to survive tragedy, to even find strength and grace in response to it? It is resilience, a trait that all humans possess but that only some people actively use. It is the trait found in some poor, neglected, or abused children that allows them to grow into happy, well-adjusted adolescents and adults despite the challenges of their youth. The author, director of an international team that studied such qualities in people from 22 countries, found that there is a consistent set of factors present in people who bounce back from disaster and even thrive in spite of it. Using a step-by-step format peppered with anecdotes, the author shows readers how to cultivate their inner strength to make resilience a resource of their own psyche.
