Description
What Doesn't Kill Us: The New Psychology of Posttraumatic Growth by Stephen Joseph
For over twenty years, psychologist Stephen Joseph has worked with survivors of trauma, revealing a surprising truth: that traumatic events can be catalysts for positive change. Challenging conventional wisdom, Joseph shows how a traumatic experience can improve one's life, rather than ruin it.
Drawing on insights from ancient philosophers, evolutionary biologists, and positive psychologists, this book explores how we can navigate change and adversity to find new meaning, purpose, and direction in life.
