Second Chances: From Surviving to Thriving - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Second Chances: From Surviving to Thriving provides a backstage pass to jaw-dropping journeys as each author shares life-shattering traumas that led to remarkable transformations that will inspire you to live your life with greater alignment, meaning, and purpose.

In Second Chances: From Surviving to Thriving, you will meet an incredible group of people from across the globe who found inner strength and positively impacted the lives of those around them after experiencing a harrowing life challenge. In one story, you’ll read about a woman who loses her family in a terrorist attack and, while in the midst of grieving, creates a program that unites those around her. In another chapter, you’ll meet a man who survives on sheer will and determination to return to his family after experiencing an accident while hiking in the mountains, leaving him stranded with no food or form of communication.

Life can dramatically change course after a traumatic experience, but this change of direction can be a wonderful gift.

Each story, told from the author’s point of view, inspires readers, offers guidance and hope, and showcases how – through healing and growth - we can change our life, perspective, and the community around us after experiencing a traumatic event.

The stories in this anthology teach readers about five tenets of post-traumatic growth as defined and described by psychologists Dr. Richard Tedeschi and Dr. Lawrence Calhoun:

• Appreciation of life
• Relationships with others
• New possibilities in life
• Personal strength
• Spiritual change

Individually and collectively, these stories prove that hope cannot be extinguished but perseveres in the face of life’s greatest challenges. If you are looking for inspiration and renewed hope to move beyond past or present life challenges, this book will give you the tools and strategies to do so.
