We live in challenging times, when even the most successful among us may occasionally become overwhelmed by problems relating to money, marriage, parenting, illness, stress, or any of the myriad challenges we all face from time to time. Tragedy to Triumph will show you how 100 people from all over the world, and from all walks of life, have faced, and eventually overcome, every sort of obstacle.

These are just a few examples of the many humble beginnings that eventually led to stunning success. The 100 profiles are each divided into 3 sections; At the bottom, At the Top, and The Comeback, describing how each person found their way from Tragedy to Triumph. The conclusion features an insightful analysis of the ways that you can apply the lessons from the book to your own life. What do these comebacks prove?
