This book, written by three experts in trauma and resilience, answers key questions about adapting to life's most challenging situations, building personal resilience, and the science behind resilience. It combines cutting-edge scientific research with personal experiences of individuals who have survived traumatic events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors describe ten key resilience factors such as facing fear, optimism, and relying on role models, providing practical tips and inspiring stories to help readers adapt and grow from stressful life events.

In 'Stumbling on Happiness,' Daniel Gilbert delves into the human capacity to imagine the future and why we are often poor at predicting what will make us happy. Gilbert argues that our imagination is flawed in several ways: it adds or removes details, extrapolates from the present, and fails to account for the psychological immune system that helps us cope with undesired outcomes. The book uses scientific research from psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and behavioral economics to explain why we consistently misjudge our future satisfaction and how this affects our decisions. Gilbert also suggests that understanding these biases can help us make better choices and gain more control over our pursuit of happiness.
