No one searches for adversity. Bad things happen. Yet how many of us will know what to do to prevent our lives from spiraling out of control when we encounter traumatic events that threaten our safety, careers, emotions, health, or relationships? In this pragmatic and inspirational book, experienced US-based life coach and psychotherapist Eileen Lenson shows us tools to turn suffering into hope and develop resilience by combining scientific research with an understanding of our emotional and spiritual lives. She cuts through existing myths and provides readers with a look into what it takes to not just overcome adversity and survive, but to thrive. Written to help anyone who finds themselves in a painful place, regardless of social background, culture, religion or education, each chapter describes from a scientific, psychological and spiritual perspective, why we do the things we do. Armed with this knowledge we can learn to manage our feelings and respond to devastating events with the skills to seek healthy coping options and change our lives for the better. In this book you’ll learn how to: • Use five core factors of your life — forgiveness, courage, perspective, perseverance, and hope — to reduce emotional suffering. • Identify and replace unproductive coping skills with healthy thoughts, feelings and behaviors. • Master new skills through practice exercises. • Benefit from the stories of others, just like you, who have faced and overcome adversity.

Unique in its approach, the new book by Yvonne Farrell provides a framework for understanding how effective the channel system is at supporting survival through allowing the body to hide or store trauma, stress and burnout in acts of self-preservation. She looks at how these latencies are created by the different channel systems, why they are created and the cost of these to the individual in terms of chronic imbalance or disease. Patients can become stuck in survival mode and the book explores how to use acupuncture to bypass the human biological reluctance for change and reach the body on a cellular level. The book sheds light on the deeply rooted pathologies of somatization, bad habits and lifestyle choices, and contains a number of case studies designed to illustrate the book's theories and help the practitioner in the diagnosis and treatment of their patient. Acupuncture for Surviving Adversity is about moving patients beyond survival and to a state of balance and wellbeing using acupuncture, giving practitioners the tools that will allow trauma survivors and other patients to reset themselves.

We live in a turbulent time. Storms are everywhere, of every size and shape. And like every generation before us, we must learn the art of surviving them, so we can help each other endure. In order to stand firm against life’s unavoidable storms, we need to know our true self, deepening our roots and solidifying our connection to all Spirit and all life. Then we, like a firmly rooted tree, can endure the force of trials and heartbreak.

Once the rubble clears, we, like those before us, are inevitably called to build the world one more time, admitting that we need each other.

We live in a world of adversities, a world of storms, troubles, difficulties, and challenges. From the day we are born until the day we die, we would encounter adversity and face difficult circumstances. There are no exceptions; the same wind blows on us all. While a large percentage of people give up on their dreams and allow adversity to defeat them, a few others defy adversity and walk their way to success and greatness. In this book, you will learn:1.That Adversity is part of life and we must brace up for it.2.How to cultivate a positive attitude amid adversity.3.The importance of focusing on your purpose, vision, and dreams instead of focusing on adversity, setbacks, and challenges.4.Why keeping the right association is the key to success in life and business.5.How to build a passionate team for optimal business success.6.How to get rid of the victim's mentality in times of adversity.7.How not to quit when life's challenges buffet you.8.Why hard work is a prerequisite for success in life and business.9.The principles for overcoming adversity and setbacks in life and business.The difference between the successful and the mediocre people in any society or nation is dependent largely on their ability to embrace adversity, defy adversity, and overcome adversity. Those who shrink from adversity, learn nothing new, neither do they discover their hidden strength. However, the courageous look adversity in the face, conquers it, and succeeds despite it. I believe that as you apply the principles in this book, you would not only overcome adversity but also accomplish your dreams and ambitions in great measures. See you at the top!

Social indicators such as low socioeconomic status, minority status, battering, chronic illness, trauma, drug and alcohol addiction, and poor social environment are negative predictors of educational and social success. Why is it that some people, however, overcome adversity and succeed despite the odds? This study identifies and describes the context and factors involved for an ethnically diverse group of twenty adult women from low socioeconomic status being able to "succeed" despite the odds. Using qualitative in-depth oral history interviews, this study includes women whose voices are seldom heard in the literature - those who have many of the social indicators associated with failure, but who have defied the negative predictors for success and persisted beyond high school to post-secondary education. Among the questions explored are: How do these women define "success"? What were the barriers? What were the factors in overcoming adversity? and how can their voices inform policy and practice in adult and post-secondary educational programs? The data revealed the following major themes. The presence of dynamic advocates or "healers" who extend beyond traditional roles to help and "believe" in the women. The importance of social structures and programs designed to assist non-traditional women as they seek post-secondary education. Making a difference for others and giving back to their communities as definitions of "success". Barriers such as conflict with dominant group cultural capital, and destructive teaching practices. The importance of strong and supportive relationships with family and/or friends. The importance of connection to spiritual/religious practice and people.
