Description: "Do you ever wonder why some people seem to sail capably through life's storms, while others are knocked down and never get back up? The answer is resilience. Resilience is the ability to recover from difficult experiences--such as the death of a loved one, a job loss, trauma, or a serious illness. It's the strength of body, mind, and character that enables people to respond well to adversity. In short, resilience is the cornerstone of good mental health and wellness. So, how can you build resilience?"--
Notes: "A step-by-step approach to help you: bounce back from setbacks ; stay calm under pressure ; manage distressing emotions ; build self-esteem and inner strength ; thrive in any difficult situation"--Cover.
