Publisher's Synopsis
"How do you know you are going to rebuild yourself after a setback in life?"
Jackie Chung defied centre of gravity to rebuild herself after a traumatic setback that brought her to her knees for ten years. Want to know how she did it?
IN THE LIGHT I RISE is a book about emerging triumphant after setbacks.
Over a decade ago, while rescuing a friend in a life crisis, senior executive Jackie Chung suffered an attack of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome, which hampered her brain functions. Following conventional wisdom, she hid her negative emotions and pushed through her setback with willpower for eight years. She made many avoidable mistakes, prolonging her road to recovery.
By reading this book you will:
- See light and hope in darkness through Jackie's candid account of her journey in rebuilding herself.
- Find strength in the stories of a schizophrenic doctor, a Holocaust survivor, a mother of three, a high school teacher, two college students, an Olympic figure skater, a Harvard professor, a Wall Street executive, and others.
- Learn to deal with your setbacks and traumas honestly, instead of sweeping things under the rug.
- Feel safe to take off your mask and let your scars and wounds heal.
- Learn to resist pressures and pause to develop "Setback Grief" to let go of past shadows.
- So you can flip around your setback into setup for success.
May this book help you let go the past to make way for the future!
The time to start a new beginning is NOW.
