Pasadena, CA – WEBWIRE – Monday, August 17, 2020

Best Seller Publishing announces the release of Karen Hermanson’s new book, “Enlightened Friendship: Befriending Yourself and Others Through Difficulty.” It will be available for free download in the Amazon Kindle Store on August 17^th.

In these difficult times, we are all facing adversity, both individually and collectively. “Enlightened Friendship: Befriending Yourself and Others Through Difficulty,” provides guidance for not only going through difficulty but growing through it in a way that strengthens us, builds our self-confidence and improves our resilience to overcome future hardships.

“Enlightened Friendship: Befriending Yourself and Others Through Difficulty,” is uniquely organized to guide both those who are suffering as well as those who wish to help them.

Adults rarely get training in how to support other adults. While we may have empathy for another’s suffering, we may be so intimidated by our fear of not knowing what to do or say that we turn away when they need us most. This book resolves that problem and lays out the roles, boundaries, skills and techniques that help us support our friends with confidence. While growth is an ‘inside job’, support from compassionate friends helps us to fearlessly embrace our emotions while we learn from our experiences. Friendship can keep us on track and enable us to discover new (and sometimes surprising) solutions. This is a practical guide to show you how friendship can be extended in ways that are supportive and compassionate while honoring another’s process of grief and self-discovery. The guidance of this book will help you be better prepared and more confident to support your friends through their rough patches. We can all benefit from compassionate friends who are prepared to help when needed.

For those who are facing a change, ending, loss, or distress, this book provides constructive guidelines, techniques, checkpoints, and practices to help you participate fully and move more smoothly through your healing process. You will face your fears and learn from them. You will be enlightened by your setbacks rather than a victim of them. You will be empowered by making thoughtful decisions using emotional intelligence. You will learn to select the support you need. And ultimately, you will move through your difficulties with less suffering, more confidence, enriched, and at peace. Throughout our lives we face challenges; let us welcome the opportunity to navigate them with confidence.

“We all go through crises in our lives, or have friends or family who need help on dealing with one. What to do and how to get through the tough times? This book proved a thoughtful guide that will help those going through a crisis, or those wishing to help someone through a difficult time. This book is full of insights and tools that are easy to implement. It will be a valuable resource to anyone.” – Pam

“This could not be more timely! Whether most people know it or not, we are all going through extremely difficult times. I have had many tragedies in my life and this book is so incredibly helpful. It’s something you should read again and again as you have to deal with hard times, or as close friends and family members are dealing with difficult times and tragedies.

Thanks for writing a book that we all desperately need to know, yet our education system doesn’t help us understand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and great ideas for us to use to become strong and healthy again.” – Karen Foster

About the Author:

Karen Hermanson, MS HHSA, self-proclaimed ‘Adversity Specialist’, Miami Beach, Florida, offers strategies for getting through and growing through difficulties so that we can overcome life’s challenges with less suffering, more wisdom, confidence and peace.

As the author of “Enlightened Friendship: Befriending Yourself and Others Through Difficulty,” Karen’s goal is to educate adults on how to thrive through crisis. When you are facing a change, ending, loss, or distress, Karen offers strategies and techniques to not only avoid being victimized or disabled by them, but to GROW more swiftly through our difficulties and be enriched by them. We can learn in ways that strengthen us, builds our self-confidence and improves our resilience for overcoming future hardships.

As adults, we often don’t help others simply because we don’t know what to say or do to help. Adults rarely get training in how to help other adults and may not realize the benefits that could result. Karen is equally committed to training partners, friends, co-workers, communities and organizations how to support others through difficulty. While growth is an ‘inside job’, support and synergy from compassionate others helps those suffering to embrace difficulties, face their fears, learn from them, and find new (and sometimes surprising) solutions.

Karen recently overcame her own series of formidable personal challenges, having experienced multiple deaths of loved ones, medical crises, divorce, witness to crime, a fatal accident of a friend and other painful losses and setbacks.

As a former healthcare executive and consultant with expertise in change and crisis management, she has combined her professional experience with her recent adversities to develop strategies for others to conquer and grow through crisis. As a perennial student of modern neuroscience, spirituality and ancient wisdom teachings, Karen also infuses her programs with a sense of depth and personal empowerment.
