Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Clear and compelling, Is There Always Value to Adversity presents an interdisciplinary exploration of the age-old idea that adversity can lead to personal growth. Can adversity have an upside Is there a purpose to suffering Can difficult experiences involving trauma and hardship make us stronger The…se age-old questions, both intuitively compelling yet scientifically problematic, have fascinated philosophers and researchers for centuries.In Is There Always Value to Adversity , Eranda Jayawickreme examines whether post-traumatic growth--the positive changes people report after adversity--reflects real transformation or is simply a coping mechanism. As Jayawickreme explains, the idea that struggle, trauma, and adversity can be a catalyst for positive outcomes has a long intellectual history. He outlines the history of this thinking, tracking its development in different cultural, religious, and philosophical traditions. He then discusses its recent emergence as a popular topic and evaluates the current research, highlighting guidelines for how we should think about this phenomenon. Throughout the course of the book, Jayawickreme interrogates the quality of the research on post-traumatic growth. In the current age of worries about replication and the credibility revolution in science, can we trust this research at all Is it possible to do good science on a topic with such intuitive appeal Ultimately, Jayawickreme asks: is growth through suffering real, or just a comforting story we tell ourselves.
