5 posts | 8 read | 8 to read
These days its hard to count on the world outside. So its vital to grow strengths inside like grit, gratitude, and compassionthe key to resilience, and to lasting well-being in a changing world. True resilience is much more than enduring terrible conditions. We need resilience every day to raise a family, work at a job, cope with stress, deal with health problems, navigate issues with others, heal from old pain, and simply keep on going. With his trademark blend of neuroscience, mindfulness, and positive psychology, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Rick Hanson shows you how to develop twelve vital inner strengths hardwired into your own nervous system. Then no matter what life throws at you, youll be able to feel less stressed, pursue opportunities with confidence, and stay calm and centered in the face of adversity. This practical guide is full of concrete suggestions, experiential practices, personal examples, and insights into the brain. It includes effective ways to interact with others and to repair and deepen important relationships. Warm, encouraging, and down-to-earth, Dr. Hansons step-by-step approach is grounded in the science of positive neuroplasticity. He explains how to overcome the brains negativity bias, release painful thoughts and feelings, and replace them with self-compassion, self-worth, joy, and inner peace.

A good book, but on the whole, for me, unmemorable.

This book is the confluence of psychology, brain plasticity, and Buddhism. If that intrigues you, read on. Hanson takes a measured approach to making a better life for yourself. I liked his style, even though it‘s nearly impossible to present new ideas in this genre.

I‘ve been working on my pile of ARCs for this week‘s #NetGalleyTBRAttack. Some of these ARCs are already published, I‘m just THAT behind. So, I‘m using Scribd audiobooks to help me catch up. #rebelreader #desperatebookblogger #uniquesolutions

I requested this one before my self-imposed #banonselfhelpbooks. I am actually finding it to be a unique perspective on typical concerns. Still, I just want to speed through it at 2x!

Samplergal I‘m finally caught up with my ARCS. I requested a few due in May and they are finally done. Only one in June. Then I‘ll feel loads better. 6y
FantasyChick I'm so far behind too. I've only got one so far that's already been published but sooo many are coming up soon. Maybe I should pay more attention to the dates before I request 🤔 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Samplergal Whew!! I‘m aiming for that feeling! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @FantasyChick I learned to look at pub dates after a couple of requesting sprees. It helps a lot! 6y
Clwojick I always listen at 2x the speed ♥️ 6y

This is the book you give to someone who would benefit from Al-anon but refuses to go to 12 step meetings. This is for the person who would not consider himself a bodhisattva, but obviously practices lojong compassion. Buddhism lite.

IheartYA Ohhh.. intriguing! 6y

Look, whatever you're doing, stop right now and pre-order "Resilient" tonite! I read the #ARC and I can't stop thinking about it.
He breaks the concepts behind resilience down into twelve ready to understand chapters. My favorites were #calm, #compassion, #mindfulness, #learning, #grit, and #aspiration.
He has a real talent for packing a ton of sciencey knowledge into a few sentences that anyone can understand. A mark of a truly skilled writer!

BarbaraTheBibliophage Sold. I just requested an ARC even though I‘m over capacity. This is one of my favorite topics. 6y
CatchMyBookBreath @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yay! You will NOT be disappointed! It's a very special topic to me as well. 6y
JennyM I just did the 5-day Resilience summit last week Rick Hanson ran online. I can forward you the link to sign up if you would like? It‘s totally free and very good! This is a topic of much interest to me - my Phd is on self compassion in family carers of older adults xxx (edited) 6y
CatchMyBookBreath @JennyM I would love that! You are so kind! And you Phd topic is so needed. Thank you! 6y
