Why We Suffer and How We Heal

In her debut book, Dr. Suzan Song draws from her clinical practice, patient stories, humanitarian research, and personal experiences to help readers release their unrealistic longing for stability and develop a healthier mindset.

Based on over two decades of work with survivors of human rights violations and everyday adversity, Dr. Song reveals that resilience emerges not from optimism or grit alone, but from accepting life's inherent instability and utilizing three transformative tools: narrative, ritual, and purpose.

The book offers a groundbreaking approach to healing that bridges clinical innovation with practical wisdom applicable to anyone facing life's challenges.
