What Will You Get From The Book and These Practical Exercises? 

From the book (p2):

​

"Mental resources like determination, self-worth, and kindness are what make us resilient: able to cope with adversity and push through challenges in the pursuit of opportunities.

 

While resilience helps us recover from loss and trauma, it offers much, more than that. True resilience fosters well-being, an underlying sense of happiness, love and peace.

 

Remarkably, as you internalize experiences of well-being, that builds inner strengths which in turn make you more resilient. Well-being and resilience promote each other in an upward spiral. 

 

The key is knowing how to turn passing experiences into lasting inner resources build into your brain. This is positive neuroplasticity, and I'll show you how to use it to grow resilient well-being."
