Review Quotes

In this cogent and down-to-earth guide, life coach Burton (Let Go of the Guilt) aims to equip readers with the skills to thrive in an unpredictable world. Outlining 10 rules for resilience...the author interweaves personal anecdotes with examples of others who grappled with roadblocks of their own (from how she dealt with a miscarriage by leaning on her faith and pivoting to her backup plan, adoption, to how Destiny Child's Michelle Williams handled the unexpected pressures of fame). Burton also makes clear throughout that while assets like physical health and money can help one's resilience, so do adaptive skills and other resources--like faith and close relationships--that readers already have and can further develop. This will go a long way toward empowering readers to handle whatever life throws at them.--Publishers Weekly
