Join Deborah Levine at Barnes and Noble in Hamilton Place on Sunday, September 29 from 2-4 pm as she shares her journey to resilience at every level: physical, mental, and spiritual. The true stories of The Art of Resilience, her latest book, demonstrate the power of fierce determination and each story provides helpful lessons learned.
“Wow! What an incredible life and book. Deborah Levine is a masterful storyteller who weaves lessons in resilience through her personal experiences.
Throughout her life, she has exemplified resilience in her ability to adapt, adjust, and flourish in spite of, or perhaps because of, the many challenges she has faced. Deborah truly mastered The Art of Resilience!”
- Gail A. Dawson: Associate Prof. of Management, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Gary W. College of Rollins College/U. of Tennessee at Chattanooga
“Deborah hits another home run with her newest book! She mines her personal history of successes and health setbacks to emphasize lessons for us. We’re easily discouraged today and Deborah is an excellent example of creative overcoming through inner resources, societal cooperation, and divine inspiration. Where most would have given up, Deborah set goals, achieved them, and then set new goals to improve community and the world. If you’re discouraged, read her book and try these lessons.”
~ Marc Brenman: Former Exec. Director of Washington State Human Rights Commission, served with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S Dept. of Education.
“Far from being abstract research on the dynamics of resilience, Deborah has provided us with a life story, and highly relevant biography of the struggle for resilience lived out, day by day. Deborah’s life and career include faith, spirituality, religious communities, and what she addresses as “the Divine“. Prayer, meditation and celebrations can be vital sources of resilience, whether active in a faith community or not. Perusing these pages, I can only say that I am thankful for the gift of Deborah’s story and her reflections on it. Reading such can mentor one in self-reflection and identifying one’s own need and capacity for resilience.”
- George Simons: Creator of the award-winning diversophy® game series for developing intercultural competence.
