I actually had this man as my therapist. And everything he said is 100% accurate. Due in part because of how this man helped me with my Asperger's Syndrome, I'm now on my way to the Utah Valley University to get MY PhD in Psychology with a minor in Art. Because I too was resilient and tenacious.
I have a deep respect for Sam Goldstein Ph.D. He diagnosed my ADD and told me what things have changed for me neurologically neurologically since my car accident.
After researching numerous doctors (far too many to count) for over four years for my child, a friend of mine mentioned Sam Goldstein in Salt Lake City and expressed her absolute trust in him as a physician. Dubious of him, before even meeting him, I had rehearsed in my mirror all the things I would object to when I met him. I considered all the reasons I shouldn't have my child see him after we waited three months to get in. Doctors, as a general rule, are self-centered and focused on monetary gain--especially when it comes to stipends for soliciting pharmaceuticals. At least that was my opinion. If this is true, Sam Goldstein is NOT a doctor, as he is NOT self-centered, nor does he claim to know everything as many other doctors do. Of all the doctors I've seen in my life, there are only three I trust. One is a family practitioner whom I can no longer locate, one a gynecologist whom the services haven't been required in eight years, and above all Dr. Sam Goldstein. Sam doesn't dictate, he educates, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Consider the very relatedness that Sam is talking about teaching children is what they could reach us. It is we who create a world that values judgement and hierarchy over the relatedness that is the foundation of resilience. How interesting that to teach our children well we must learn from them.
An inspiring talk about a fascinating topic. It is obvious this man has both a great heart and a great mind. Two indicators of a great book. I look forward to reading it.
Kids become strong like superheroes when they face real challenges, learning how to solve problems and never give up. Each challenge is like a puzzle piece that makes them even tougher!🙃
Its nice to see the people below who Dr. Goldstein has helped. It would be interesting to hear what learning or insight he has on resilience. Unfortunately, one will not get it from this talk. It sounds promising but is all prelude. He makes reference twice to a "unitary set of qualities" that he has discovered or that we know of that comprise resilience, but he actually never so much as even lists any of the type of qualities he might be talking about. Unfortunate.
No one enhances children's resilience like Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. Their books are groundbreaking and way ahead of their time in tapping into SEL and CBT ideas. You want resilient, autonomous kids? Read their books.
Dr. Sam, I loved your talk. The term "ordinary magic" struck such a chord in me. I live in The Netherlands now and I just wrote about how here in NL there is not such an emphasis on"being better" that we tend to have in the US (cloggingalong.wordpress). It is ok to be "average" and that creates a freedom and a space to be resilient that is difficult in these times we live in were everyone needs to be special.
Dr. Goldstein, I have been unable to find an article entitled Understanding AD/HD and co-occurring conditions. Attention! 2007. Can't find it anywhere. What would be a good way to find it? Nina
Take a look at the articles on my website and email me and I will send you more on the "how". Or get a copy of my book Raising Resilient Children. Thanks

thank you for sharing :]
Wow!!! You are likely a PhD now when I am reading!! ❤️
Great combination of science and humanity. A talk that makes you want to go out and help others.

You are very welcome. Please tell others about my talk.

I love him! Discovered him accidentally... the man is spot-on...

I have recommended their "How to Talk. . ." books for years. Thanks for mentioning this.
Thank you for sharing your experience & knowledge. Just saw your speech and it was riveting.
Thanks so much for your kind words.
Great work, Sam. Optimism is rarely a part of psychological assessment.
Thanks so much for your kind words and insight,
I'm proud to say I know you! Great job, Sam!

I like this, but I wish he were more specific as to HOW to teach children these values.

Just saw you at the Research ILD (2016) conference today. I saw you at Learning and the Brain maybe 5 years ago? I love your work. Thanks!
Great talk! Something we all need to remember.
Sam, another awesome presentation!!
Thanks much.
Main message: Resilience is important.
It's more important to learn
Dr. Goldstein, I have been unable to find an article entitled Understanding AD/HD and co-occurring conditions. Attention! 2007. Can't find it anywhere. What would be a good way to find it?
