This second edition defines emotional resilience as "that empowering capacity that enables you to effectively recover from life's inevitable challenges. It is the key to strengthening self-esteem and confidence, minimizing the effects of stress and enhancing relationships."  The author endeavors to provide tools to meet that test.At times the book is an effort to read, as the situations people are dealing with can be serious.  But if you struggle through the hard sections you will find among the stories bits of wisdom you can employ in your own life when you confront your own trials.  The book provides ideas and encouragement to call upon -- ideas to confront your old behavior patterns as you react to stressful situations and meet the circumstances with a more positive mindset.The book isn't for everyone.  I encourage you to read the preview available on Amazon.  By the end of the preview you will have a sense if this book is for you.
