Product Description

Synopsis

Provides insights into life survival techniques.


From the Author

How to be resilient in today's world!
I spent over thirty years researching the inner nature of highly resilient survivors. My book, The Survivor Personality, shows how to bounce back from difficulties, "read" new realities rapidly, have a learning/coping reaction instead of a victim/blaming reaction, adapt to changed circumstances quickly, sustain good energy in negative environments, thrive under pressure, cope well with crises, gain strength form adversity, and have a talent for serendipity.

Chapters: Life is Not Fair--and That Can Be Very Good for You. Playful Curiosity: Learning What No One Can Teach. Flexibility: An Absolutely Essential Ability. The Synergy Imperative. Empathy is a Survival Skill. The Survivor’s Edge: Subconscious Resources. The "Good Child" Handicap. Thriving in Rough Circumstances. How to Be Positive About Negative People. How to Handle Yourself With Angry People. The Roots of Resiliency: Your Inner "Selfs." Self-Managed Healing. Surviving Emergencies and Crises. The Will to Live: Human Nature vs. Mother Nature. Learning From Survivors of Torturous Conditions. The Serendipity Talent: Turning Misfortune Into Good Luck. Surviving Being a Survivor. Our Transformation to the Next Level of Development.

Dr. Bernie Siegel says: "Read this book! I loved it!"

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a MUST for every library!, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
For anyone who has ever survived a trauma of ANY kind.... natural disaster, sexual abuse, violence, or a personal disaster of any kind..... this book will help you to understand WHY you survived when others did not -- or help you learn HOW to survive when you thought you never could.....

This book had an enormous impact on me.... It explained many of my inherent traits, that others had seen as "weaknesses", as survivor STRENGTHS -- and I realized that I wasn't as crazy as I thought I was! *grin*
