This is the most important word in my life and not just recovery. I know these “ for dummies” books get alot of grief, but I recommend this one. The information is clear, organized, and very useful. I always wondered what made people go through such traumatic experiences and somehow come out stronger than before. What makes people bounce back or get back up when they have been knocked down? About a year and a half ago I thought about this on a long car ride to clear my mind after going through some personal struggles consecutively. I slipped on my sobriety, my gf dumped me, stress at work, and my senior cat Lucy had to be put down. I felt really beaten down. Then I stopped at Barnes and Noble and saw this book sticking out in the psychology section. It was the first book that caught my eye and when I read that one big word in bold letters I knew it’s what I’ve been missing all along. Im glad I picked it up and I’m a much better person for taking the time to improve my resilience everyday. Every struggle I encounter is an opportunity to prove I can bounce back and let things go. I can move forward and become more resilient every time things don’t go my way. We can’t control everything that happens in life. We can only control how we REACT to the events that take place in our life. Forget yesterday, and try again today for a better tomorrow.
