SUPERSURVIVORS
The Surprising Link Between Suffering and Success
This book will be an inspiration to anyone who is moved by incredible tales of resilience, bravery, and triumph and wants to know how they themselves can incorporate the lessons learned into their own lives – and anyone interested in learning how the experiences of an extraordinary group of survivors can make all of us stronger and more successful.
Eighty percent of people suffer trauma in their lifetimes, and many are able to survive and overcome its effects. There’s a distinct segment of individuals among this group who not only rebuild their lives, but thrive and grow in ways never previously imagined. Supersurvivors. These men and women are able to reassess their priorities, redirect their focus and, in the process, accomplish extraordinary feats. They break records, win awards, and meet the seemingly unattainable goals they set for themselves.
David Feldman and Lee Kravetz interview and study these unique individuals—from athletes to musicians and entrepreneurs—and explain what’s special about supersurvivors, what the rest of us can learn from them, and how we can incorporate their wisdom into our daily lives. Their outlook is often surprising and counterintuitive: they might es- chew positive thinking, maintain delusions and don’t always keep the faith; some don’t consider themselves wise, or even lucky.
David B. Feldman, Ph.D., a tenured professor at Santa Clara University, is a top expert on hope in the field of psychology.
Lee Kravetz is a journalist who has written for the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Huffington Post, and is now completing a Masters degree in counseling psychology.
