Download The Gift of Adversity: The Unexpected Benefits of Life's Difficulties, Setbacks, and Imperfections AudioBook Free

The mentioned research psychiatrist explores how life's disappointments and difficulties provide us with the lessons we have to become better, bigger, plus more resilient human beings. Adversity can be an irreducible reality of life. Although we can and really should learn from all experience, both positive and negative best-selling writer Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal thinks that adversity is by way the best professor the majority of us will ever encounter. Whether the adversity one experience is the result of poor decision making, a desire to check one's mettle, or basic misfortune, Rosenthal thinks life's most significant lessons - from the worthiness of family to the importance of occasionally lowering edges - can be best learned from it. Operating counter to society's current prevailing concept that "brilliance" should always be aspired to, and failing or errors of any sort out should be avoided no matter what, Rosenthal demonstrates engaging with our own failures and defeats is one of the one ways we are able to live real and meaningful lives, and that all different type of adversity carries its own challenges and has the potential to deliver its own form of wisdom. Using testimonies from his own life - including his child years in apartheid-era South Africa, his years after troubled a violent attack from a stranger, and his career as a psychiatrist - as well as case studies and conversations with well-known figures like Viktor Frankl and David Lynch, Rosenthal demonstrates true innovation, psychological resilience, wisdom, and dignity can only result from confronting and understanding the adversity we've experienced. Even when life is hardest, there are meanings to be found, riches to be gathered, and gift items that can go on an eternity. Rosenthal illustrates his concept through some compact, memorable chapters, each one drawn from shows in the lives of his patients, acquaintances, or himself, and concluded with a take-away maxim on the lessons learned.
