Seeking Adversity: How to Use Stress and Embrace Life's Difficulties to Reveal Your Best Self (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636769523)

We've all been told to avoid stress to maintain our health and balance. But what if, instead, we learned to embrace stress and allow it to propel us to greatness?

In Seeking Adversity: How to Use Stress and Embrace Life's Difficulties to Reveal Your Best Self, author Chris O'Reilly seeks to explain how we all have the opportunity to turn adversity and stress into powerful motivators that can help us live our best lives. Through personal stories as well as shared stories of contemporary heroes like former Navy SEAL David Goggins, Seeking Adversity reminds readers that humans, as a whole, are resilient and can push through the toughest of times when needed.

You'll learn through O'Reilly's personal stories, including:

• How he lost 100 pounds not once but twice in his life
• His search for acceptance in the fickle performing arts industry
• The interesting relationship between himself and comic book superheroes

Seeking Adversity is part memoir, part guide for readers looking to fully live their life instead of watching it play out from the sidelines. If you're ready to acknowledge your personal power and are looking to see how an everyman did the same, this book is for you.
