About the Book

Adversity comes to all of us in ways we may not expect or choose. Often, it is unwanted and untimely. And still it boldly demands something of us. A response. Perhaps it’s the pain of sickness, death, or simply getting older. Maybe it’s the struggle of constant change, or the suffering of disillusionment that comes with life and its many losses and limitations. However it comes, Ben reveals how such experiences can be transformed into a catalyst for magnificent joy and a profound sense of personal empowerment and strength. The Empowerment Paradox shows you how to turn life’s roadblocks and stumbling blocks into robust building blocks. It reveals a powerful and desperately needed series of vital virtues to strengthen your emotional and mental center. These virtues, when developed, provide clarity and understanding for dealing with the complexities of life. They offer the power you need to rise up and become the best version of yourself. Suffering, struggle, and adversity all offer us an opportunity—this book shows you how to seize it.
