Expanding on her viral post that has become an international phenomenon, a psychotherapist offers simple yet effective solutions for increasing mental strength and finding happiness and success in life.As a licensed clinical social worker, college psychology instructor, and psychotherapist, Amy Morin has seen countless people choose to succeed despite facing enormous challenges. That resilience inspired her to write 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, a web post that instantly went viral, and was picked up by the Forbes website.Morin’s post focused on the concept of mental strength, how mentally strong people avoid negative behaviors—feeling sorry for themselves, resenting other people’s success, and dwelling on the past. Instead, they focus on the positive to help them overcome challenges and become their best.In this inspirational, affirmative book, Morin expands upon her original message, providing practical strategies to help readers avoid the thirteen common habits that can hold them back from success. Combining compelling anecdotal stories with the latest psychological research, she offers strategies for avoiding destructive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors common to everyone.Like physical strength, mental strength requires healthy habits, exercise, and hard work. Morin teaches you how to embrace a happier outlook and arms you to emotionally deal with life’s inevitable hardships, setbacks, and heartbreaks—sharing for the first time her own poignant story of tragedy, and how she summoned the mental strength to move on. As she makes clear, mental strength isn’t about acting tough; it’s about feeling empowered to overcome life's challenges.
Gutes Buch, es wirkt nicht in die Länge gezogen und ist daher sehr kurzweilig zu lesen. Auch wenn viele der 13 Dinge relativ offensichtlich sind, hilft es dennoch, sich einmal offen und selbstkritisch von vorne bis hinten mit sich selbst in Dialog zu treten. Außerdem habe ich mir viele Notizen gemacht.

i‘m glad i read this. whenever i am in a selfpity phase, i‘ll probably skip through those chapters again. i also wish i could send people this book who are in their selfpity phase (and love to be stuck in it).
i admire her courage to keep living, after the hardships she had. it makes sense that this knowledge helped her get out of a dark place- i am certain it‘ll help everyone out of their dark place but the hard part is living after the advice she mentions. it is easy advice, simple and obvious advice but she gives information about it, which wasn‘t obvious before and deepens the theory. it encourages even more to act after her advice.
if you are in a dark place and bath in selfpity, i can recommend this book. if you aren‘t, you‘ll probably be unsatisfied with it.
