Resilient
How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness
Book • 2018
This book, written by Dr. Rick Hanson and his son Forrest Hanson, focuses on developing inner strengths such as grit, gratitude, and compassion to enhance resilience.
It draws on neuroscience, mindfulness, and positive psychology to provide concrete suggestions, experiential practices, and personal examples.
The book helps readers overcome the brain's negativity bias, release painful thoughts and feelings, and replace them with self-compassion, self-worth, joy, and inner peace.
It also includes effective ways to interact with others and repair and deepen important relationships, all grounded in the science of positive neuroplasticity.
