Surviving is great8230 but thriving is so much better. Delve into someone else8217s story to discover what it takes!Life will test you at every turn, but never so intensely as when you suffer a trauma.Perhaps you survived an accident maybe you8217re processing a death or the end of a relationship maybe you8217re haunted by something that happened in your past8230Whatever it is that happened to you, it8217s asking you to find a strength that you may not have had to find within yourself before8230 but it8217s there, and you can access it.Robert Bowers knows this extremely well.In 2010, he experienced a terrible cycling accident, which planted a seed of resilience in his mind8212a seed he would continue to nurture for the next 14 years as he discovered the full extent of the trauma that came with that accident8230 and faced many more challenges.Resilience, he reflects, is not about getting through: It8217s about bouncing back and pushing forward despite the challenges. It is, he believes, the quality that allows us to thrive8230 not just survive.Each challenge you face is an opportunity for growth. Pain is part of the human experience, and resilience is about choosing to rise above our mistakes, push past the challenges, and keep moving forward.It8217s not a skill we8217re born with8230 It8217s one we have to cultivate8230 And that means that, no matter what you8217ve been through, you can build yours.Through sharing his own experiences and reflecting on how he built his resilience, Bowers uses this extraordinary memoir to help you navigate your own trauma and come out the other side stronger.Inside, you8217ll discover:The detailed, honest, and humbling account of the author8217s own experiences following a traumatic accident in 2010How you can consciously choose how you respond to your trauma rather than reacting impulsively and sinking into negative thoughtsWhy your mindset is so powerful8212and how you have far more choice in your experience than you may realizeWhy you should force yourself out of your comfort zone and try new things (no matter how nervous you are)How you can plan your response in advance of predictable traumatic events8212and why this will make your experience so much betterThe power of humility8230 and how to use gratitude as an effective tool for growth and recoveryThe role of faith in dealing with trauma and committing to long-term personal growthHow you can move past the days that make you feel stuck and emotionally paralyzedAnd much more.No matter what you8217ve been through, you have a well of strength inside you.
