Since she was a child, Lisa wanted to help. Whether it was rescuing a blind duck at a park or defending her younger brother against bullying when he experienced severe asthma attacks-Lisa always found herself in the role of a helper during times of crisis. As an adult, a phone call at four o'clock in the morning launched a trifecta of trauma that changed Lisa's life forever. Three experiences with death and illness occurred in her family in just 10 months. Her beloved brother died suddenly of an asthma-induced heart attack, her father was battling lymphoma, and her son became catastrophically ill. When her family's world imploded, Lisa felt as if she had become irrevocably damaged. Instead, she discovered her calling during a sunrise walk along the beach at the height of her son's illness. Lisa heard the word "Soaringwords," and suddenly knew why she was born. She channeled her passion and resilience into a global movement that would inspire millions of people to never give up. Her lifetime of experiences helping others through trauma, grief, illness, and setbacks-combined with her own personal experiences-led her to found Soaringwords, a not-for-profit organization with the mission of inspiring children, families, adults, seniors, and health care professionals to take active roles in self healing to experience greater physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Today, Lisa is an internationally recognized Positive Psychology thought leader. Wherever you are within your journey, this debut memoir provides illumination and inspiration as you seek to become the best version of yourself, even in the face of overwhelming obstacles.

Industry Reviews

"SOARING into Strength ... is precisely what we all need, today more than ever." -Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, co-founder, Happiness Studies Academy

"Like a flowing river, life is never still. SOARING into Strength is an emotional tour de force that takes you on a fast-paced journey through many twists and turns with bracing candor, abundant humor, and steadfast determination. Buksbaum is a compelling and reliable guide who will transport you to distant shores, somehow wiser and definitely more hopeful." -Chip Conley, best-selling author, Wisdom@Work; founder, Modern Elder Academy

"Lisa Buksbaum is a marvelous storyteller who generously shares her life story with the whimsical nostalgia evocative of Judy Blume; the searing emotional tightrope of trauma and loss of Joan Didion; and the side-splitting, consistently wry humor of David Sedaris. You'll fall in love with a beloved cast of characters and discover the healing power of kindness and courage." -Dr. Jane Dutton, co-founder, Center for Positive Organizations

"In a world sorely needing hope, faith, and enduring and endearing role models, SOARING into Strength provides a roadmap for living a life infused with kindness, wisdom, and humor. This memoir is very relevant in these fraught times. Buksbaum transcends life's traumas and challenges with steadfast determination, abundant moxy, and an enormous heart. I highly recommend this powerful, enjoyable read." -Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, best-selling author, Transcend; host, The Psychology Podcast

"One of the biggest lessons I've learned since I lost my husband Dave is the role we all can play in lifting each other through hardship. But sometimes it's hard to know what to say or do. In Lisa Buksbaum's Soaring into Strength, you'll find the right words and thoughtful gestures to offer support to people in your life. This book will help all of us show up for those who need it most." -Sheryl Sandberg, former COO, Meta; founder, Option B
