From New York Times bestselling psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich comes the myth-busting guide to transforming adversity into strength We’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to overcoming life’s most difficult moments. According to New York Times bestselling author and organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is one major problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure, uncertainty and chaos we’re experiencing today. Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative. What if, instead of merely bouncing back from stressors and setbacks, we could harness them for forward growth? Drawing on decades of research, fascinating stories and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis, Eurich will smash your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity. Readers will learn how to turn stress into strength, exhaustion into energy and confusion into confidence. When we become shatterproof, we learn that the things that break us can also remake us – paving the way to feel better, do better and live better than ever before.
Surviving isn't enough: this is how you can thrive.

You've heard much in recent years about positive thinking. Out of the
recessions and lean years another term has been born "prosperous
thinking." The word "prosper" means "to flourish, succeed, thrive, to
experience favorable results." This book plainly shows how prosperous
thinking has helped people in every walk of life to experience these
results. Furthermore, it shows how prosperous thinking can do these
things for you, too! As you read this book, chapter by chapter, you
will automatically begin to develop the power of prosperous thinking,
and, almost as easily, you will begin to reap a harvest of prosperous
results.
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.
The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
Dit is nie noodwendig maklik om bly te wees nie – maar Johannes de Villiers wys hoe dit ’n haalbare doel is vir enigiemand. Vind in hierdie boek ’n omvattende blik op lewensvreugde; alles van teorieë oor wat presies blydskap behels tot praktiese wenke om dit te bereik, met inligting van spiritueles sowel as sielkundiges. Ware verhale staaf sy voorstelle, soos dié van die man wie se pad na blydskap begin het toe Geheime Polisie hom skiet.
