From Suffering to Success
When faced with extreme tragedy or loss, it can feel like there's no way to bounce back.

But people often do.

And sometimes, people even bounce forward.

If you want to learn the secret of not just surviving -- but thriving -- after trauma, Dr. Roizen as he welcomes David B. Feldman, PhD, and Lee Daniel Kravetz, co-authors of Supersurvivors: The Surprising Link Between Suffering and Success.

Feldman and Kravetz discuss why certain delusions can be healthy, why reflecting on death can lead to a better life and, perhaps most surprisingly, why positive thinking may not always be the best strategy.
