From Publishers WeeklyThough Fred Astaire got top billing, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels. Texas Governor Ann Richardss ironic barb reminds women that they accomplish far more in their daily lives than they give themselves credit for. Psychologist OGorman (Breaking the Cycle of Addiction) shows readers how to focus on personal assets rather than on unfinished tasks and unfulfilled goals. In so doing, she expands the meaning of resilience to encompass the ability to recover from adversity and achieve a positive self-image and world view. Drawing on her professional cases, she relates the story of Rachel, who pinch-hitted for her alcoholic mother by preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for relatives at the age of 11. By seeing the resourcefulness and courage of her feat, Rachel is able to recast a negative experience as a victory. OGorman is never preachy and her practical prose is replete with such anecdotes and with suggestions designed to help readers develop a personal ally-Your resilient voice. Exercises expand each chapters theme while they promote self-awareness, and questions help readers find their own strengths and weaknesses, thereby creating their own resilience profiles from the six OGorman identifies.
