Learn how to bounce back from setbacks, stress and challenging times

Resilience is the ability to cope with and recover from difficult situations. It includes our capacity to make the best of things, deal with stress and rise to the occasion. We all have this ability, though not always as much as we'd like. This engaging, practical book draws together scientific understanding, real life examples and proven methods in describing how you can develop seven essential skills that help your resilience grow.

Author Chris Johnstone experienced burnout and depression when working as a junior doctor, crisis becoming a turning point when he had a near fatal car crash. His journey of recovery led him to make the study, practice and teaching of resilience his central life work.

This self-help guide includes:

  • A toolkit of resources for emotional first aid
  • Techniques for storyboarding your life and seeing the positive pathways you can take
  • Practical strategies and insights for dealing with tough times
  • Skills for thinking flexibly and creative problem-solving
  • A science-based system that helps the gains you make 'stick'

If you're feeling challenged in your personal life, workplace or relationships, Seven Ways to Build Resilience offers you proven pathways to protect your wellbeing. If you have hopes or ambitions with inevitable hurdles in the way, the resilience tools described here can help you survive the bumps and keep to your path.

"Practical and clear with strategies that work, this is, by far, the best book I've read on resilience"
Miriam Akhtar, author of Positive Psychology for Overcoming Depression

"This timely and important book is packed with brilliant, practical ideas to help us respond constructively to whatever life throws at us. Recommended"
Dr Mark Williamson, director of Action for Happiness

"After working through the programme described in this book, I had an emergency admission to hospital. Being encouraged to see challenging situations as opportunities to practice using resilience tools, I asked myself 'what would a story of resilience look like here?' and applied my resilience toolkit. Doing that transformed a potentially horrendous situation. These tools really work. Thank you"
Heather Thompson, personal development coach, www.positivelycoaching.co.uk

"Full of useful wisdom that helps us cope with the challenges of life, this highly readable book is both a resource for self-care and guide for practitioners"
Dr Alan Kellas, psychiatrist and specialist in nature-based mental health care

"If you want to strengthen your unique tapestry of personal resilience, this inspiring and far-reaching book weaves in much needed threads"
David Peters, professor emeritus, The Centre for Resilience, University of Westminster
