Produktbeschreibung
"Whether it is the loss of a parent to death or divorce; bullying; alcoholism or drug abuse in the home; mental illness in a parent or a sibling; neglect; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; having a parent in jail; or growing up alongside domestic violence, nearly 75% of us experience adversity by the age of 20. But these experiences are often kept secret, as are our courageous battles to overcome them. Drawing on nearly two decades of work with clients and students, Jay tells the tale of ordinary people made extraordinary by these all-too-common experiences, women and men who have made a life out of dodging bullets and leaping over obstacles, even as they hide in plain sight as doctors, artists, entrepreneurs, lawyers, parents, activists, teachers, and students. Taking us deep into their hearts and minds, she explores not just "How do they do it?" but also "How does it feel?""--Back cover.

Rezensionen

It's impossible to read Supernormal without seeing yourself in it - and without seeing yourself more clearly too ADAM GRANT, New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS, and OPTION B with Sheryl Sandberg
