Aprašymas

This book shares tales of courage expressed through a mindset of patience and gratitude, as individuals face the challenges in their life. Out of the 18 people featured here, 13 are people with mental health issues, one is a caregiver, two are counsellors, one is a motivational Islamic speaker and one is the CEO of the Institute of Mental Health (IMH). One common theme they express is that the path towards wellness takes considerable effort and time. In fact, none of the peers claim to reach that elusive state of being recovered as they still experience their symptoms from time to time and go in and out of different stages of recovery. Healing though is easier to experience than recovery as one regains the sense of self before the illness and grows into a new and better, happier, and more contented human being. It is about being able to forgive and move on. It is about counting the blessings and appreciating the lessons learnt from tragedies, traumas, and challenges in life. Often, it is the journey itself that teaches the meaning of patience and gratitude.
