Resilient
by Rick Hanson
Hanson's twelve inner strengths, from compassion and grit to confidence and generosity, each grown through the HEAL method. It is an organized program for building durable well-being, with practices for each strength. Readers of his earlier books will recognize the method; the structure is new and useful.
Read it if…
you want a structured year-long inner-strength program.
Skip it if…
you want a single practice; this is twelve.
Three things you will actually use
- Grow one strength at a time.
- Take in experiences of the strength repeatedly.
- Meet needs for safety, satisfaction and connection daily.
Do this first
Choose the strength you most lack and do its practices for a month before moving on.
Our verdict
Well-organized and practical; a complete program.
