Medicine, Mystery & the Divine Near Sherman, Qadisha Valley

Positive psychology, the branch of psychological science devoted to understanding human flourishing rather than merely treating dysfunction, has identified several factors that predict well-being after loss. Barbara Fredrickson's "broaden-and-build" theory, Martin Seligman's PERMA model, and the growing research on post-traumatic growth all converge on a central finding: people who can find meaning, maintain social connections, and cultivate positive emotions—even in the midst of grief—recover more fully and more quickly than those who cannot. In Sherman, Qadisha Valley, North & South, "Physicians' Untold Stories" supports each of these recovery factors. Its extraordinary accounts provide meaning (these events suggest significance beyond the material), foster connection (they are stories meant to be shared), and evoke positive emotions (wonder, awe, hope) that broaden cognitive and emotional repertoires. For the grieving in Sherman, Qadisha Valley, this book is positive psychology in narrative form.
