The Good Crisis
We can all be struck down overnight by a crisis, professional or private, and find ourselves helpless in the face of the resulting devastation. So how do we cope with it? Where do we go from here? Journalist Sibylle Barden-Fürchtenicht speaks to those who have suffered severe crises—at work, in their private lives, in matters of the heart.
Anxieties, serious illnesses, mental anguish, lifelong dreams and forgiveness: the main thing is not to let it get you down. It’s about bouncing back. Interviewees describe the strategies that helped them, demonstrating why it is you can’t roll with the punches by using your head alone, why you must put your heart into it and confront your fears – and why our main problem isn’t ignorance, it’s apathy.
