How do we handle being hit with a tough relational issue, financial concern, medical problem, or trouble at work? What about when more than one of these occur at the same time? How is it that we can actually benefit from hard times? Most of us would rather avoid adversity altogether, but we can't. Timothy D. Holder draws on the expertise of psychologists; his own experiences as a leader, employee, and student; and interesting historical examples to examine how to have success through adversity. From the initial storm to arriving at the other side, there are eighteen techniques for dealing with difficult times. The good news is that we all naturally do some of these things. When we put them together, we can push through quite a bit of adversity. As a bonus, the book also describes what not to do in troubled times.
