Description

Keep thriving through good times and bad: “[An] excellent self-help manual . . . Miller's program is sensible, and her tone warm and positive.” —Publishers Weekly Psychologist Beth Miller has helped hundreds of people in her therapeutic practice to not only survive life crises but become deeper, more powerful, and more authentic human beings. Packed with information and exercises, this smart, often funny, book can help women thrive amid life’s ups and downs—from trauma and loss to daily disappointments. When we cultivate resilience, we mine the awful, or merely annoying, experiences in life to find meaning and purpose. The Woman's Book of Resilience is an accessible, practical guide to bouncing back, to go to the edge of life and come back with heart and soul elevated, to be able to take sure and steady steps over rocky terrain. Miller offers twelve qualities that help women develop and learn resilience, and shows how to cultivate them: Admit and embrace vulnerability * Increase the ability to connect * Find manageable parts of the problem * Discover your needs and get them met * Recognize your gifts and talents * Develop the ability to say no and set limits * Practice transforming resentment and forgiving * Use your sense of humor * Use the power of staying and leaving * Find meaning in crisis * Endure suffering through crisis * Stand strong alone and rely on others With case histories, stories, and a foreword by June Singer, this is a “trustworthy guide to living a more satisfying, fulfilling life no matter what your circumstances” (Lauren Artress, author of Walking a Sacred Path).
