Cell phones show us we’re never good enough. Yesterday’s butterflies are tomorrow’s panic attacks. Record numbers suffer from anxiety, depression, and loneliness. What do we need to learn? RESILIENCE. And we need to learn it fast.
Let this #1 international bestseller teach you:
-The 2-minute morning practice that helps eliminate stress
-What every commencement speech gets wrong
-3 questions that help tell yourself a different story
-The single word that keeps your options open after failure
-Why you need an Untouchable Day (and how to get one)
…and much, much more!
Because the truth is, you really are awesome.
