Bite-Size Resilience Training That Will Change Your Life

Happiness is a mindset – one that involves choosing to think about the experiences you have over the course of a day in a way that allows you to feel good.

Think about how many times a day you have an emotional response to something that happens to you.

Are you more likely to get annoyed, frustrated, angry, or fearful?

Or do you usually feel curious, interested, excited, or grateful?

While our emotional responses rarely feel like a choice in the moment, they are choices.

This is the power of resilience – the ability to choose how you respond to your experiences in a way that allows you to feel and be your best self.

This book teaches you how to do that – in two minutes or less.

Seriously, TURN TO ANY PAGE and read a skill that you can apply to your life immediately.

It’s that simple.

This book presents 47 skills from Kristin MacDermott’s proven resilience training curriculum in a way that everyone can use.
