Publisher's Summary

Everyone knows that regular exercise and weight training lead to physical strength. But how do we strengthen ourselves mentally for the truly tough times? And what should we do when we face these challenges? Or as psychotherapist Amy Morin asks, what should we avoid when we encounter adversity? Through her years counseling others and her own experiences navigating personal loss, Morin realized it is often the habits we cannot break that are holding us back from true success and happiness. Indulging in self-pity or agonizing over things beyond our control, obsessing over past events, resenting the achievements of others, or expecting immediate positive results all hold us back.

Now, for the first time, Morin expands upon the 13 Things from her viral post and shares her tried-and-true practices for increasing mental strength. Increasing your mental strength can change your entire attitude. It takes practice and hard work, but with Morin's specific tips, exercises, and troubleshooting advice, it is possible to not only fortify your mental muscle but also drastically improve the quality of your life.

One of those rare ones that need to be re-listened repeatedly

I’m halfway through my first listening. I can already tell this is one of those dense gems that I’ll have to re-listen multiple times in life to get the most out of.

Excellent livre!!

J’ai vraiment vraiment adoré ce livre! Clairement des chapitres à réécouter de temps a autre. Les exemples sont excellents et la narration est au top!

mixed view

There are some truth to the content of this book but it seems the author has a warped view of the world realities due to their privileged upbringing.

The Only Self-Help Book You Need

This little book covered so many essential aspects of the self and is so applicable. The author's voice is so calming and yet penetrating; she's honest and kind. Make sure you read it with a pen and paper handy if you're serious about improving yourself. Well worth your time!

Great book!

I loved this book. It’s a good reminder of things I need to remember to do (or not do) in order to keep from overthinking and being the person I don’t want to be. Love it :) oh and also my last name is Moron too so must be a family thing 🤷‍♀️

Rich story

The beginning story broke my heart. I was listening to it at the gym and balled my eyes out. My heart goes out to the author and thank you for such a rich and down-to-earth book.

Great book

Interesting to break down each thing and see what I do and don’t do. Really good book, great message and relatable mini stories within. I find Amy’s tone a little monotone, so sometimes difficult to stay enthusiastic about the chapters, but you get use to it.
