Shatterproof: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos (and Why Resilience Alone Isn't Enough)

About this book

Learn how to turn stress into strength in this “impactful guide to navigating life’s upheavals” (Susan Cain). Are you working too much but feel like it’s never enough? Have you turned the act of pretending you’re “fine” into an art form? Does self-care feel like one more item on your already long to-do list? We’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life’s most difficult moments. But according to New York Times bestselling author, organizational psychologist, and researcher Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is one problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure and uncertainty we’re experiencing today. What if, instead of merely “bouncing back” from stressors and setbacks, we could harness them for forward growth? Whether you’re grappling with work stress, personal challenges, or the chaos of everyday life, Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative to stoic endurance as the only strategy for survival. Combining cutting-edge research, practical tools, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis, Dr. Eurich will overturn your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity, offering a scientifically supported system to help you feel better, do better, and live better than before. You’ll discover how to: •Reclaim your best self when stress turns you into someone you barely recognize •Uncover the unmet needs that keep you stuck in self-limiting patterns •Turn stress into strength, exhaustion into energy, and confusion into confidence •Find peace in the present and be prepared for what the future holds •And much more When we embark on this journey, we learn that the things that break us can also uniquely remake us. That is what it means to become shatterproof.
