Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist who was a survivor of the Holocaust, has much to teach us about resilience. One key lesson from his work is that having a sense of meaning and purpose can fuel persistance and survival in some of life's most difficult situations. In this chapter you will learn about post-traumatic growth, the experience of positive life changes after a stressful or traumatic event. You will see ways that individuals have used their emotional suffering to help others, including having a clear and impactful “survivor mission.” Meaning and purpose can be given, but it can also be made. We will teach you four areas where you can make meaning in your lives.
