This book saved my sanity.
I absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend this book. There is so much contained in it that allows you to transcend change/pain/discomfort and grow because of it. I learned that just because things happen, it's not the end of the world, that things do get better in life. I pull it off the shelf from time to time just to remind myself that I am not alone.

The Best Book on Resilience
This book is both inspired and inspirational! I suggest you keep it on your nightstand and read a section every morning and night. The readings are short and to the point. Don't be surprised if this book becomes your best friend.

This book is uplifting without being Pollyannaish.
I found the Art of Resilience a worthwhile read, particularly for someone dealing with grief or loss of some type. The format would appeal to one who suffers as it is organized into brief chapters containing vignettes, philosophy, or advice. It is not a long, heavy read of how you SHOULD feel, but rather an uplifting look at how you could choose to confront an illness, a death, or just one of the many setbacks that we are all destined to encounter on the journey of life. It would be a wonderful gift to place into the hands of a friend in need. Similar Products
