About this title

Synopsis

How people who have suffered trauma find an upside when they�ve gone to the brink�and back again.
Do survivors of life�s greatest trials possess a secret knowledge? Is there an art to survival�a map for crossing the wilderness�or daily life? Why do some people blossom through adversity while others stop growing? Drawing on twenty years� experience in this field, using stories, parable, and scientific data, acclaimed memoirist Mark Matousek gives the first-ever comprehensive look at this mysterious phenomenon of viriditas, the power of drawing passion, beauty, and wisdom from the unlikeliest places. Matousek interviews hundreds of well-known survivors�including Joan Didion, Elie Wiesel, and Isabel Allende�and experts such as Jon Kabat-Zinn, Jonathan Kozol, and Sogyal Rimpoche. He includes extraordinary testimonials, from a Tibetan nun imprisoned by the Chinese at age eleven and the women of Calama, Chile, digging for their �disappeared,� among countless others. Drawing insight and advice from these many heroic individuals, Matousek presents a chorus of wisdom for how to survive our own lives�the vicissitudes of being human�and prevail.
