Publisher's Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Resilient written and read by Rick Hanson.

Experience lasting happiness, love and peace.

The author of the New York Times best-selling Hardwiring Happiness, Rick Hanson is known for his trademark blend of neuroscience, positive psychology and contemplative practices. In Resilient, he explains how to build the very foundations of well-being by harnessing the power of positive experiences to build an unshakeable core.

Dr. Hanson has distilled 40 years of clinical work and teaching into 12 highly effective tools. Working with these tools allows you to enter a positive cycle which creates a sense of well-being, which in turn establishes resilience, which feeds upon itself to strengthen you. 

Developed from his incredibly popular online course called The Foundations of Well-Being, here is the groundwork you need to be able to meet life with a whole heart.

Great book but formatting a little off

Found this book really useful and think self management is a useful part of it. The practice sections were useful though they are hard to find again and re-reading sections is hampered y calling all chapters in the audio book Chapter 1, 2. 3, etc. could they be re-named? Just a quibble though as the whole book was really helpful.

Meditative

Narration and content was of a medtitatove tone. Hard to listen to in the car due to lack of engagement. Better to listen to later at night.

Everyone would benefit from this book

Lots of useful strategies for living a meaningful and intentional life. There were quite a few guided ‘meditations/exercises’ that would be most beneficial to do when you can commit to them.
I think the world would be a much better place if everyone read this book around every 6 months!

Brilliant and practical instructions. Invaluable

This is a repeat listen and read book with invaluable wisdom, insights and practical instructions from Rick Hanson.
Rick has a very easy to listen to voice. The book is well structured and broad ranging to cover different aspects of self development which enables self understanding, self awareness and how to see, hear, think and feel differently and respond better to what life brings along.
Neuro science comes to the fore along with aspects of Buddhist philosophy including leaning into suffering.
Will listen again and again to this wonderful book

Worst Narrated audiobook ever

Possibly a good book, feels very generic. But the reading makes it unlistenable. It is like listening to a mediation tape for 8 hours.

not bad, but not great.

I just really struggle to get through this book for some reason. obviously not very constructive feedback, as I don't know why, but I just didn't find it engaging.

Relatable!

I really related to this book whilst suffering from post traumatic stress. Its great to listen to whilst dealing with lingering emotions and gives a new perspective.
