Sophie Scott is the National Medical Reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. She has written an interesting blog post on resilience; "When life doesn’t go exactly the way you had hoped, what is it that helps some of us to be able to cope better, be resilient or even grow as a person through adversity?" Sophie tells the story of people who have overcome great tragedy in their lives.
In researching resilience, Sophie found that the creator of positive psychology Martin Seligman had found the best way to move past setbacks was to move beyond the three Ps:
Personalisation - the idea you are at fault,
Pervasiveness - the belief that an event will affect all areas of your life,
Permanence - the thought that the effect of the event will be life-long.
