"What I Learned About Resiliency After Being Shot By A Disgruntled Employee" - Dennis Charney, MD
As one of the world’s leading experts in neurobiology, Dennis Charney, MD, the Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz dean for the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and president for academic affairs at the Mount Sinai Health System, had been studying trauma victims before becoming one himself. He was shot at a relatively close range outside a deli by a disgruntled former employee, who was eventually apprehended. But Dr. Charney reckons that he learned more about resiliency in that experience than he ever did on the job, as he was able to see the people at the deli turn from strangers into a fully-fledged support unit, willing to fight for the forces of good and right his wrong. It's a powerful story. Dr. Charney’s latest book is the masterfully written: Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life’s Greatest Challenges.
