Overcoming Adversity: Tips and Concepts for Preparing Yourself to Meet Life's Challenges (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519625342)

After a difficult childhood and struggling as a young adult, author Keith J. Pomerleau took stock of his life's trajectory. He saw that many of his shortcomings were due to a lack of skills on how to overcome roadblocks placed in his path. He learned from his mistakes and developed tools that helped him to analyze important factors in his life and use self-reflection to make better decisions.

Now, Pomerleau shares his experiences in order to help others who may be staring at their own personal crossroads-not knowing where to begin-to help them triumph over any setbacks and succeed.

By focusing on important themes in life, including family, friendships, relationships, mental health, physical health, education, investing, hobbies, and leaving a legacy, Pomerleau helps readers determine why these factors are important to success...and how to avoid common pitfalls.

This insightful guidebook helps readers to perform a personal analysis of their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). It reviews positive and negative attributes and encourages you to strengthen your own mental tool box with desirable traits that can help you succeed. The book ends with some valuable tools aimed to help readers covert their aspirations into life-changing actions.
