The Woman’s Book of Resilience
A smart, often funny, book that can help anyone thrive amid life's ups and downs
“The Woman’s Book of Resilience is a wonderfully helpful book about navigating life with its difficult stretches and grace-filled moments. Whether the reader is in the depths, treading water, floundering on the shoals, or becalmed and going nowhere, Beth Miller’s words and suggestions provide wise counsel. There is much to learn, to meditate upon, and to appreciate in this fine book.”
Beginning years ago with her work with women in grief, Beth Miller has helped hundreds of people in her therapeutic practice to learn to be resilient and survive life crises to become deeper, more powerful, and authentic human beings. 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.
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."
“Miller’s program is sensible, and her tone warm and positive without too much cheerleading.”
“I have always wanted to find a book that describes why some people give up while others thrive in the face of great suffering. Beth Miller’s twelve qualities that cultivate resilience are visionary and empowering because they take us into the very heart of darkness and then bring us back out into the light of hope. I especially loved the elegant balance of wisdom with humor and deep spiritual insight with pragmatic counsel. Read this book for yourself, your family, and your community.”
