Defined as the ability to bounce back from setbacks and difficult experiences, resilience is a capacity that we will all need as we journey through life. Young people, however, are still growing, and growing up, whilst having to handle one of the most difficult developmental periods in life, and as such they are very much in need of learning how to build and sustain resilience. This wonderful book uses engaging activities and interactive exercises to help us discover or develop a powerful set of skills for meeting the challenges and stress that life can bring. This is the author's second workbook and with its positive upbeat tone, she strives to help young people learn to balance their emotions, to recognise and quiet their inner critic and to believe in themselves and their power to not just cope but to thrive in an increasingly stressful world.

The book is divided into four goals, rather than chapters, and within each goal, we are given several different activities focused around a central theme such as finding strength, keeping perspective or overcoming adversity.

Written in a succinct and light-touch style, this is a lovely book either to work through with a young person or to give to them to look at independently.
