    A Useful Toolkit for Dealing with Life's Challenges
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2006*

Although written several years ago, this remains a valuable book for anyone who has or is facing adversity. Interestingly, many of the ideas in the book, which were based on a great deal of clinical observation, have actually been born out by empirical research.One of the least helpful ideas that entered the mainstream of pop psychology was the notion that we are robots who can be programmed to behave dysfunctionally by adverse life events. That simple notion missed the fact that many people who have had awful life experiences turn out just fine, and others who seemed to enjoy every advantage have developed enormous problems. The fact is that we are a composite of our genes and our life experiences. And the genes in the brain do not so much determine our behavior, as predispose us to how we react to the environment. There is also increasing evidence that mental states may impact gene expression. So positive thoughts and emotions may be able to overcome or ameliorate the impact of negative experiences. Enter the notion of resilience, which has a genetic component, but can also be learned.This book revolves around the idea that triumph over adversity involves seven key components:1. Insight2. Independence3. Robust relationships4. Initiative5. Creativity6. Humor7. MoralityEach chapter is loaded with evaluations and advice on strengthening these key characteristics.The model deals only with psychological resilience, with a few nods toward physical and spiritual resilience.Warmly recommended.
