"Do you often feel like you're just one stressor away from your breaking point? Have you turned the act of pretending you're "fine" into an art form? Do you pride yourself on your mental toughness in the face of whatever life throws at you? If so, you'renot alone. We've all been conditioned to believe that grit and resilience are all it takes to get us through life's challenges. The problem is, argues organizational psychologist and NY Times bestselling author Tasha Eurich, resilience is not an unlimited resource. And while some people have more of it than others, few of us possess enough to keep us from breaking under the weight of all the stress, uncertainty, and chaos we experience today. Drawing on a vast body of research, client stories, and insights from Eurich's own struggles with chronic illness, SHATTERPROOF offers a much-needed alternative to "toughing it out" in the face of adversity, and shows how to instead harness those difficult moments as a force for growth. Readers will learn a simple set of science-backed strategies, including how to: Recognize the specific stressors that uniquely trigger us -- Identify the unmet needs that keep us mired in anxiety and frustration -- Replace self-limiting habits with ones that serve our true goals -- Develop the ability to face future challenges with confidence and strength. The things that break us can also uniquely remake us, allowing us to live better, do better, and feel better than before. This is what it means to become shatterproof"--Provided bypublisher. - (Baker & Taylor)

We’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life’s most difficult moments. But according to New York Times bestselling author, organizational psychologist, and researcher Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is one problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure and uncertainty we’re experiencing today.

Combining cutting-edge research, practical tools, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis, Dr. Eurich will overturn your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity, offering a scientifically supported system to help you feel better, do better, and live better than before. You’ll discover how to:
•Reclaim your best self when stress turns you into someone you barely recognize
