Summary of Meg Jay's Supernormal - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Helen, after college, spent most of her time with non-government organizations fighting for a better world. She went wherever she was needed, and one day, her mother asked her to come home. Her father had killed himself in the house where she grew up. #2 When I asked Helen if she had ever thought of herself as resilient, she was taken aback but not confused.
She replied that she was not resilient, because if she was, she wouldn't be here. #3 The most common adversities that children and teens face are the loss of a parent or sibling through death or divorce, a parent or sibling who is a problem drinker, an adult or sibling who struggles with a mental illness, or some other serious illness or special need. #4 The term resilience is commonly used to describe the ability to bounce back from adversity, but in reality, this is not what resilient people do.
They are not just resilient, they are changed by their experiences.
