Rising Above Life's Challenges with Humor, Hope, and Courage
Stress is as American as apple pie. It doesn’t matter where you live, what your job is, how much money you make, or what demands you face in your personal life. There’s simply no escaping stress. But, according to Dr. Brian Luke Seaward, the toughest times can reap unexpected benefits if you develop the right attitude.
Dr. Seaward remembers an epiphany--a turning point in a childhood filled with incredible pain. His grandmother handed him a plate of freshly baked cookies with these loving words: “Now remember, stressed is just desserts spelled backward!” He realized that humor and compassion go a long way toward easing both stress and sorrow and has made it his life’s work to teach people that when met with faith, humor, love, and optimism, life’s greatest challenges can lead to success and spiritual depth.
The stories in this book offer encouragement and guidance, hope and faith, and most of all, a fresh point of view. Seaward’s stories help us approach life’s twists and turns with anticipation rather than fear. His stories truly inspire.
