Download Supersurvivors: The Surprising Link Between Suffering and Success AudioBook Free
Starting where resiliency studies leave off, two psychologists explore the knowledge of remarkable achievement in the wake of trauma, revealing the unexpected principles that allow people to enhance their lives and achieve outstanding things. Over four billion people worldwide will make it through a trauma throughout their lives. Some will experience severe post-traumatic stress. Most will eventually retrieve and go back to life as normal. But sometimes, survivors do more than bounce again. Sometimes they bounce forward. These are the Supersurvivors - people who not only repair their lives, but also flourish and grow with techniques never previously imagined. Start where resilience ends, David B. Feldman and Lee Daniel Kravetz look beyond the tenets of traditional mindset for a deeper knowledge of the effectiveness of the human spirit. What they have found flies when confronted with conventional wisdom - that positive thinking may hinder more than help; that recognized support can be just as good as genuine; and that sensible expectations may be a key to great success. They create the humble but powerful idea of grounded desire as the building blocks for overcoming trauma. The writers interviewed dozens of men and women whose stories serve as the counterpoint to the latest medical research. Feldman and Kravetz then brilliantly weave these outstanding narratives with new knowledge, creating an emotionally powerful and thought-provoking look at what is possible when confronted with human tragedy. Supersurvivors will reset our pondering about how exactly we offer with issues, no matter what size or small.
