Crecer a partir de la crisis: Cómo convertir una situación difícil o traumática en una oportunidad de cambio

by Bill O'Hanlon

Most of us see a crisis as something to be avoided at all costs. But to solutions-oriented therapist Bill O'Hanlon, a crisis is an opportunity to get reconnected to happiness and well-being. In this bold and lively book, he brings to bear more than 30 years of clinical experience (and his own challenging life crises), showing readers:

- How avoiding, denying, and minimizing sets us up for breakdowns and crises
- The three powerful internal signals most of us ignore at our peril
- How old traumas can be viewed in a new light

The sensible and inspiring guidelines in this book show how to use a crisis to recover and reconnect with a life of meaning, passion, and purpose.

Me hubiera gustado leerlo en mis 20! En que las crisis son el fin del mundo y no es asi! Pero como nunca faltan las crisis, se los recomiendo! Para valorar las decisiones que podemos tomar con la calma necesaria.

You might be able to do this then again you might not.

Oh, how good this is! There are so many things I appreciate with this book. One thing is the humor - with chapters like "Don't just do something - stand there".
I read it during a single day, just couldn't stop (a warm and lazy day at the cottage overlooking a forest lake). Before reading I had been wrestling with a crisis of purpose. Due to chronic fatigue I had lost my previous career (but that career was also the reason for my crisis and fatigue) and I felt as if I had lost several limbs - I had lost all hope. As I was reading this book I realised how I had neglected my creative path, which had always been there. I have new hope and new (old) plans for living the life I should have been living a long time ago.

No soy de leer esta clase de libros, pero por un curso en la universidad tuve que empezar a leerlo y llegó en un momento en el que fue de mucha ayuda. 100% recomendado, lleno de aprendizajes y mensajes. Me quedo con la frase final: "Deseo, pues, que todas tus crisis sean prósperas."

Great for reading and doing written exercises to get perspective on major life changes/upheavals.

This is a good, practical book for anyone dealing with change in general.

Para mi como terapeuta me sirve para simplificarle a los pacientes algunas de las grandes ideas que Bill plasma en sus libros conceptuales.
