Notes from the deep end: Nurturing courage in an often shallow world

An intelligent modern expose of the true import of courage

ISBN: 978193563816-2

What do elephants, battered women, Mohawk steelworkers and civil rights activists have in common? Courage: The depth of character that allows them to risk their lives to help others. After millions of years of evolution, most of us are capable of courage, yet it is the rarest of personality traits. It is so unexpected that we remember an act of courage long after the moment has passed. Mixing inspirational true stories with exciting new research in psychology, economics, biology and neuroscience, Notes from the deep end examines what makes and breaks a hero, and explores how to support your own inner lion.

Reviews:

“It takes courage to offer lessons on courage: the consequences of bad advice and of poor learning can be fatal. Nancy Boxer delivers her insights and guidance from a deep foundation of scientific research, clinical experience, personal development, and compassionate observation... This book should make its way into the hands of every adolescent, young adult, and senior citizen—and most advisedly of every politician and teacher—as an indispensable guide to cultivating the strength of character required of each of us to navigate the danger zones of contemporary life.”

—Lena M. Lencek, Professor of Russian and Humanities, Reed College, author and media columnist
