Resilience

Life presents us all with challenges. Most of us at some point will be struck by major traumas such as the sudden death of a loved one, a debilitating disease, or a natural disaster. What differentiates us is how we respond. In this important book, three experts in trauma and resilience answer key questions such as what helps people adapt to life's most challenging situations, how can you build up your own resilience, and what do we know about the science of resilience. Combining scientific research with personal experiences, including the COVID-19 pandemic, this book offers practical insights. The authors describe ten key resilience factors, including facing fear, optimism, and relying on role models, to help individuals adapt and grow from stressful events, providing hope and inspiration to overcome adversity.
