"When you fight or resist the circumstances of your life, you create a state of fear and upset that almost always makes your situation worse....Letting go is the inner action that removes the resisting which in turn releases the fear and upset....With the fear gone, you become calm, creative and able to discover solutions that you could never have seen before." -page 32, Stepping Stones to Greater ResilienceThis self-help book by Marquita Herald is chock-full of similar words of wisdom that will inspire you to evaluate how you can help yourself navigate the turbulent waters that life tends to throw our way. This book is well laid out, backed by scientific studies and peppered with helpful personal stories.Each section starts with a statement like the quote above, follows with supportive information, gives simple steps to help the reader implement the concept, and then ends with a concise summary of the information presented. I really liked how this allows for many ways that readers can assimilate the information. You can do a straight-through read, or skip around topics, choosing those that resonate with where you are at that moment.Overall, I found this well thought out book to be very beneficial and straightforward with plenty of material to "chew" on. I expect to go back to it again and again, finding new insights each time, depending on where I am in my own personal growth.A highly recommended read--not just for those who find themselves currently down and out, but for anyone who wants to learn new skills for rolling through life with a little more ease and comfort.
