Book excerpt: A supersurvivor is a person who has dramatically transformed his or her life after surviving a trauma, accomplishing amazing things or transforming the world for the better. When tragedy befalls, many people succumb to trauma and suffer many psychological setbacks such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Many are able to move past the trauma and return to normal life. Some, however, are able to bounce back stronger and tougher than before. This rare species is called the supersurvivor. The scope of suffering may vary, but most people face troubles small or big in their day-to-day lives. Supersurvivors offers astonishing stories of the indomitable human spirit which will put your own life and how you live it into perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is undeniable that Star Wars is one of the greatest stories ever told about one of the greatest universes ever created. A reason for its popularity and greatness is that Star Wars resonates with parts of us that make the story compelling and relatable on a deep level. Using the theories of scholars such as Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and Jordan Peterson, Christian and Will apply concepts from psychology, philosophy, and storytelling to Star Wars to uncover what makes it so great. Christian and Will analyze multiple facets of the Star Wars franchise, including the movies, TV shows, books, comics, and video games (other examples from popular culture are also present) in order to truly uncover all of the hidden treasure within a galaxy that may not be so far away.
