review 1: I loved this book!! I binge listened to the entire thing pretty much in one go when it came out. You don’t need anyone to tell you that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, especially after Kelly Clarkson has said so. We've all been amazed and inspired as super-survivors rebuild their lives, thriving and growing in ways never previously imagined.And yet, what makes super-survival so damn fascinating is the mystery that surrounds these exceptional feats. What exactly differentiates super-survivors from the rest of us, and how can we infuse a bit of super survival into our own life. In this grounded yet optimistic book the authors break down the exact components of super survival. Fascinating!Great gift book.
review 2: With Supersurvivors I found ever... moreything I like about science books nestled between its cover. This book takes a look at how some people find a new direction in life after surviving a traumatic experience. It does not gloss over the fact though that trauma is just that, a horrible experience that you would not wish on anyone.Everyone has heard 'that' tale of someone whose traumatic life experience has given them the drive to go on to great things. The authors take a look at this phenomena and try to piece together the reason and science behind it. They achieve this by breaking the chapters up to cover a single topic like positive thinking or forgiveness. Each chapter tell the story of individuals, their trauma and how it changed them. From this we get a good sense of myriad of drivers that push people through and beyond their trauma.This book is well balanced and thought out it delivers a highly engaging read. I particularly liked it's use of individuals story to support the authors findings. I must admit it also engaged the voyeur in me it was both fascinating and shocking to read what some people had lived through. less
