Resilience – A Reflection on the Life and Work of Dr. Steven Southwick

May 9, 2022

I often speak of turning suffering into achievement in my logotherapy work – one way to do this is by becoming more RESILIENT.  Training to be more resilient will actually help you to ‘bounce back’ from difficult times, and to weather traumatic events in a healthier way.  Resilience has become an important field of major study in recent years, and Dr. Steven Southwick has led the way with some outstanding research.

Sadly, the world lost a great contributor to the field of Resilience and Mental Health & Meaning in the past few weeks. Dr. Stephen Southwick was a brilliant researcher and author who passed away in April 2022 after a long-standing battle with cancer. I thought it would be an appropriate way to honor his memory to share with you from his book, Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life’s Greatest Challenges. I hope you enjoy, and find ways to bring resilience training into your daily life. Enjoy!
