“Challenges are gifts
that force us to search for a new centre of gravity. Don't fight them. Just
find a new way to stand.”― Oprah

"There's nothing
as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and
then getting a second chance" -Rachel
Griffiths
We have all faced difficult moments at some stage in our life. Life has
always been unpredictable. Be it a child or the most powerful person, no one is
spared! Things do not turn out as we predict them to be. This is true for every
profession and individual. The most successful man or woman will vouch for the
above statement. It is true for every relationship, at some point of our lives.
As we parent our children or hold on to a relationship, these unpredictable
situations follow us.
Resilience and Perseverance go hand in hand in shaping
the conditions of a comeback. It is when failure stares at us, clawing back
seems a distant reality. Many believe that it is not everyone’s cup of tea. But
our mind has other plans. A comeback is
manufactured! And is the building block for a new life of hope and
happiness. We all stage a comeback sooner a later but the time taken differs
with every individual.
What a comeback! Is
an inspiring journey of 10 friends who go through torrid times in their lives.
The book gives us an insight into the functioning of the
thought processes that govern our responses both in favorable and in tough
times. The stories of Sam and his friends make the readers realize that they
too can be superheroes in their
lives and they do not need to wait for a miracle, to come up with the right
decisions in life.
The book is based on the laws of neuroplasticity which have been formulated based on
neuroscience and the changes taking place in our brain. These laws were always
existing in our lives but we never realized that these were making our thought
process autonomous (without our conscious control).
Each and every story is about a common man,
his everyday problems and his tirade against the uncertainties of life. The
author gives a journey into the brain of the characters and how the brain
functions and overcomes difficult situations.
This is the first time when someone has tried to explain the complex
mechanisms of neuroscience with the help of stories.
The intention of
writing the book is to leave the reader with a sense of hope and belief that a
comeback is possible in their life at any stage, no matter what destiny
presents us in our journey.
"No one has ever
achieved great heights if they have not mastered the art of the comeback."
Dr. Chirag Jain
