No matter how insulated we are by wealth or friends we can all
expect to undergo some form of loss, failure or disappointment. The
common reaction is to bear it as best we can - some do this better
than others - and move on with life. Christopher Hamilton proposes
a different response to adversity. Focusing on the arenas of
family, love, illness and death, he explores constructive ways to
deal with adversity and embrace it to derive unique insight into
our condition. Offering examples from history, literature and
science, he suggests how we might recognize it as a precious source
of enlightenment, shaping our very existence. One in the new series
of books from The School of Life, launched January 2014: How to Age
