'A generous weaving of brave storytelling, insightful science and wise guidance for overcoming and reclaiming' - Brene Brown, bestselling author of Dare to Lead

From New York Times bestselling psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich comes the myth-busting guide to transforming adversity into strength
We've been taught that resilience is the secret to overcoming life's most difficult moments. According to New York Times bestselling author and organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is one major problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn't an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure, uncertainty, and chaos we're experiencing today.
Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative. What if, instead of merely bouncing back from stressors and setbacks, we could harness them for forward growth? Drawing on decades of research, fascinating stories, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis, Eurich will smash your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity. You will learn how to:
Recognize the specific stressors that uniquely trigger each of us
Identify the unmet needs that keep us stuck in self-limiting patterns
Replace self-limiting patterns with those that fulfill our deepest human needs
Find peace in the present and be prepared for what the future holds
Turn stress into strength, exhaustion into energy, and confusion into confidence
And much more
When we become shatterproof, we learn that in the times that break us, we have the unique chance to remake ourselves - paving the way to feel better, do better, and live better than ever before.
'A quietly impactful guide to navigating life's upheavals with clarity and purpose - empowering us to stand strong, as our true selves, in a noisy, high-pressure world' - Susan Cain, Sunday Times bestselling author of Quiet
'Thoughtful and compelling, Shatterproof dispels popular myths about resilience and offers a new path forward' - Amy C Edmonson, bestselling author of Right Kind of Wrong
'A life-changing framework for mastering self-leadership. This incredibly practical book will help you become even more effective in taking charge of your life and becoming the person you want to be' - Marshall Goldsmith, bestselling author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There
