Book Description
Over a decade in practice
Over more than a decade, Beth Miller has helped hundreds of people in her therapeutic practice and through teaching. These people have learned to be more resilient and survive life crises. They have become deeper, more powerful, and more authentic human beings.
Find meaning and purpose
Packed with information and exercises, The Woman’s Book of Resilience is a smart, often funny, book that can help any woman thrive amid life’s ups and downs. When we cultivate resilience, we mine the awful, or merely annoying, experiences in life to find meaning and purpose.
An accessible and practical guide
The Woman’s Book of Resilience is an accessible, practical guide to bouncing back. "We know that resiliency reigns because we survive to tell our tales of misfortune, trauma, abuse. Indeed, we are built to be able to go to the edge of life and come back with heart and soul elevated. . . . We are built to be resilient, to be able to take sure and steady steps over rocky terrain."
