A groundbreaking study of trauma and survival from the internationally bestselling psychology phenomenon Meg Jay

Reviews

This extraordinary book taught me more about resilience than anything else I've read. With the ear of a therapist and the voice of a novelist, Meg Jay delves deep into the human condition to illuminate how we find strength after suffering. 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 Adversity is much more common than we think. But so is resilience, as Meg Jay reveals in this remarkable book. With a storyteller's grace and a clinician's insight, Jay explains how everyday superheroes triumph over traumas of every kind - and how you can use their inspiration and lessons to transform your own life -- DANIEL PINK, author of Drive Bracing * * Elle on The Defining Decade * * Required reading * * Slate on The Defining Decade * * Will inspire, motivate, and educate -- RACHEL SIMMONS, author of The Good Girl on The Defining Decade Eye-opening, important, and a pleasure to read -- WENDY MOGEL, author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and The Blessing of a B Minus on The Defining Decade
