"The only path to true happiness requires seeing challenges as opportunities and discovering emotional strength during times of struggle. It's about resilience. Resilience seems like an ephemeral thing that you either have or you don't. Positive psychology expert Dr. Zelana Montminy offers a practical, science-backed toolkit to develop your capacity to handle whatever life throws your way - and thrive. Each day she introduces a key trait necessary to improve resiliency and enhance wellbeing, such as gratitude, focus, playfulness, self-respect, and flexibility, then provides three simple tasks to accomplish that day. Dr. Montminy writes, "Being resilient does not mean that you won't encounter problems or have difficulties overcoming a challenge in your life. The difference is that resilient people don't let their adversity define them. At its core, resilience is about being capable and strong enough to persevere in adverse or stressful conditions - and to take away positive meaning from that experience"--Provided by publisher.
