Strong as a phoenix: How we develop our resilience and rise above ourselves in crises

New research on post-traumatic growth opens up a revolutionary and surprising view of trauma. Even after the most severe crises, people can draw wisdom and strength to rebuild their lives. With the right strategies, they are even able to grow inwardly from the crises and pass on their experience to others. Michaela Haas explains the phenomenon with the help of twelve impressive portraits. Among others, she interviewed human rights legend Maya Angelou, successful autistic woman Temple Grandin, Auschwitz survivor Coco Schumann and drummed with Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen The uplifting insights of these people marked by strokes of fate are confirmed by new scientific findings, and they show that we all have these abilities: These abilities are in all of us! Michaela Haas also shows how we can activate them through effective exercises to build resilience.
