Adversity’s Gift
The Lives, Turning Points, and Choices Behind Extraordinary Futures
By Lawrence Colbert
The event is only
part of the story.
This book is for anyone and everyone who has reached the end of their tether and needs to gain and maintain perspective on difficulties past, present and future.
In extraordinary lives, the choices that follow a difficulty can become as consequential as the difficulty itself. The book holds one perspective across the past, present and future: meet adversity with “Good.”, then ask the right questions.
“What good can come from this?”
“What can I learn from this?”
From Tom Hartley’s first sale to Bethany Hamilton’s return to the water, the collection brings human beginnings into view. Explore thirty-five featured lives, including Elon Musk, and the questions their place in the book invites.
