After all, for some people, traumatic experiences ultimately lead to genuinely debilitating outcomes. For others, though, adversity does seem to lead to ?post-traumatic growth,? where individuals move through suffering and find their lives changed in positive ways. Why does this growth happen for some people and not others? How exactly does it happen? Can the positive results be purposefully replicated? These are the central questions of a new study conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Virginia. They share their findings, practical advice, and inspiring stories in their new book Choosing Wisdom and the companion PBS documentary of the same name. Based on interviews with two distinct populations-medical patients coping with chronic pain and physicians dealing with having been involved in serious medical errors-Choosing Wisdom delves into how average people respond to adversity, how they change, and what factors help or hinder positive change. Through these interviews, the authors chart each person?s journey, and though the circumstances of each case may be unique, the commonalities are remarkable.   By paying careful attention to the journeys of these exemplars, this cutting-edge research will shed new light on how we can grow, change, and develop wisdom through adversity. It is a welcome source of inspiration for those facing a difficult journey and those seeking to aid them along the way. …
