These are challenging times. We are in a turbulent era in which too much change is happening too fast for many people. In the past, individuals had to find ways to be resilient on their own. Now, however, the emerging new science of resiliency psychology has identified the strengths you can develop to become highly resilient. The most empowering finding is that we all have an inborn predisposition to become resilient and change-proficient.

Who survives? Who thrives? As a psychologist who has spent more than forty years studying the phenomenon of survival, Al Siebert has gained valuable insight into the qualities and habits that help human beings overcome difficult situations–from everyday conflicts to major life stresses. In this book, he delineates the "survivor personality"–including such recent examples as Scott O’Grady, the fighter pilot shot down over Bosnia–and shows how survival skills can be learned, leading to better coping, increased success in work and relationships, and a vastly brighter outlook on the future.

Jackie had to overcome PTSD, depression, and survivor guilt. All this while having to cope with a learning disorder, epilepsy, a divorce, and a head injury that impairs her vision. Miles to Go Before I Sleep is more than a hijacking story. It contains a message about weathering adversity, about going for dreams and goals and about not giving up. A highly inspirational story.
