Reaching for Resilience:

Developing Empowerment Through Adversity

Do you or someone you know face life challenges? Do you struggle with speech issues, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or other difficulties? Do you sometimes feel as though your life challenges are getting the best of you? In this book, Dr. Seth Schwartz, who has forged a successful career as a college professor despite his struggles with stuttering, shares the techniques and strategies that have worked for him and for others in managing and overcoming life challenges. This book covers taking back control of your life, learning how to get rid of the idea that something is wrong with you, dealing with other peoples judgments and expectations, and developing resilience. Dr. Schwartz also suggests ways to view life challenges as gifts and how to set a course for success. Each chapter includes exercises to help readers apply the material to their own lives.
