Why read it?
1 author picked The Resilience Project as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Want a fun, inspirational push building resilience? I recommend this book.
Hugh and his team have created an incredible and easy-to-understand program to help all Australians be happier, stronger, and more mindful. I most like to recommend this to my male clients who experience a bit more stigma about mental health ("it’s not good to be ‘weak’") because of the friendly way it’s written.
With loads of examples and scenarios, it’s easy to see the benefit of everyone, from school-aged kids to corporate adults reading this book. I’ll continually be gifting it to my male friends, clients and colleagues.
From Tammi's list on books to know yourself better.
