You're stronger than you think: tapping into the secrets of emotionally resilient people

A leading medical doctor identifies the scientific factors behind emotional resilience and how readers can use them to survive the tough times in life

For five years, Dr. Peter Ubel and a team of leading scientists studied the nature of human resilience through thousands of cases of people who faced extreme medical setbacks. The result is You're Stronger than You Think, which explains how some people not only survive but also thrive in adversity, while others crumble.

More important, the book identifies traits and behavior patterns of resilient people and offers specific advice on how people can develop the emotional strength to triumph in difficult times.
