13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do: Take Back Your Power, Embrace Change, Face Your Fears, and Train Your Brain for Happiness and Success

Develop strong mentality isn't easy tasks. This book will help you out with its simple yet very powerful wisdoms. Amy Morin gives very clear explanation and practices. You can straightly apply it to your daily life and give it a clear impacts.

I read a lot of books but write very few reviews. This book is exceptional so I will take a few moments to comment.. Simple, easy to follow anti anxiety advice based on sound reasoning. No psychobabble Chapter 4, Don't dwell on things you cant control, and Chapter 6, Don't fear taking calculated risks were the chapters that I personally connected with. As I age into my sixties, I found myself being more anxious about everything, my health, bad drivers, flying, weather disasters, developing a near prepper mindset about a coming doomsday, etc. Stuff I never ever worried about before. (I had a long career in law enforcement.) I have no explanation or understanding of why I was suddenly becoming a worrywart, and was beginning to wonder if I should talk to a Dr about a medication. Instead I read Amy's book and it reminded me why I never worried about stuff I have no control over, and helped me to refocus. I feel less anxious. My tough guy shell is cracking some because I am also taking her advice about trying a few minutes meditation every morning, and starting a journal. Not sure what it will do for me, but I have great respect for this author (she has had her share of life challenges) so am going to follow her advice and see where it leads. I think this book has solid guidance for everyone and is well worth your time to read it.

I liked this book because it outlined all of its point with clear and precise examples and plenty of them I related to and could see how my behavior was affecting my mental strength and resilience. Anyone who likes self help and improving upon themselves is a good candidate for this book. Honestly it’s life skills so I think everyone should- but it may not be your cup of tea. It’s kinda dry but very educational. I have it a four out of five because I still really enjoyed all the topics discussed and I believe it helped me in the long run!

I Love This Book! It sure called me on some behaviors that I shouldn't do to be mentally strong as a woman. I recommend this book to all women even if they do believe they are mentally strong. I bet they will find a few things.

Its a lovely book that mirrors the style of the book The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday. And if you love The Obstacle is the Way, The Power of Habit, and The Motivation Manifesto...then you'll love Amy Morin's 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do. It contains 13 powerful lessons filled with great wisdom and astounding stories from many amazing leaders and entrepreneurs . The book teaches you how to perceive your problems and people from a different angle and from a more expansive perspective. The book also allows for empowerment on how we perceive and tackle obstacles in a more practical and creative light and allows us to question our fears. Most of us make life harder for ourselves through false perceptions and limited beliefs based on irrational fears and veils of illusions. The book truly does empower a person to really look past beyond our internal conflicts to pursue our dreams and happiness from a different approach. I've reread this book many times as much as Marcus Aurelius Meditations. The book teaches that through change of mentality, change of perception, through perseverance, patience, embrace failures as if they were accolades of achievement, and strong determination we can carry out an amazing successful life. We live in a world where everything is measured and dogmatism and ego is highly valued over true happiness and humility. Our wealth, our appearances, our job performance, our skills, our wallets, our possessions, our lives....everything is a competition within our society and as so it goes...people rush into life to achieve the perfect spouse, the pressure to thrive through unethical purposes in the work environments, and others live life aimlessly pursuing mediocre activities like gossip and trivial matters and in the end you feel lost, miserable, but unhappy. This book teaches a person to embrace their mistakes, to never give your anger away to senseless people or matters, and how other powerful and influential figures have bounced back from setbacks and afflictions in life. The author herself shares an amazing story regarding her own struggles in life. Its a book that I never get tired of rereading and you'd have to read it to understand why.

Read the other 1 and 2 star reviews. They hit the nail on the head about the content within this book. Most of the book are stories about death and disease and how those people overcame those misfortunes. This is no joke. I'm usually an upbeat and positive person, reading this book actually put me in a state of depression. It just drones on and on with one horrible story after another. It does however make some good points about making yourself mentally strong. It just takes way too long to get to the point of it all with the stories.

Just like our physical health it is vital that we have good habits and strategies for good mental health. My book club read this book last month and we all agreed that the principles discussed in this book were insightful yet simple enough that we could use them every week. Many of the ideas presented seemed to be "no brainers," as in, these were ideas we have heard many times before but they were a good reminder of easy bad habits we can fall into that will sabotage your mental heath if let to fester and grow. What was interesting in my book club's discussion was the fact that the younger generation (i.e. - our teenagers and young adults) found the ideas presented in the book to be "hard to accept or understand." That led us to a discussion of how our generation and our kids' generation have grown up in different worlds and they might need to hear these ideas far more than we did. It was a good read and one I will keep on my shelf and refer my kids to in the future.

For those going through the reviews to get a better idea of what this book entails, I want to assure you that this book will probably have something that can help you. The author uses the events of her life to go through each of the 13 things, but it's written very concisely. There are similar books that read like a text-book, or like a scrambled journal. This book does not have those problems. One thing to understand, it that these doesn't have a sequential order. You can skip around based on which ones seem more applicable to you. And each thing is going to have a varying level of helpfulness to you, the human experience is not a monolithic one. One of these didn't apply to me at all, and another one changed my entire view of mental health. When reading this, just try to keep an open mind. Some of these will probably sound obvious, but read through the chapter anyway. And try to see how you can apply these chapters to your life. It's possible there's things you know you shouldn't do, but do anyway without even realizing it.

Kargolama, sipariş durumu, kitabın kalitesi, kitabın bana gelme süresi her şey harikaydı.

I like book

One of the best book i ever read. It changed the perspective i see things. Raccomandare.

This was a great read that came to me during a time in my life when I was looking for answers and trying to make sense of everything going on around me whilst feeling sorry for myself. The practical examples and conclusions drawn by the author will make you realize that bad things can happen but our attitude towards how we handle them ultimately determines our happiness and the quality of our lives. The book also makes you question yourself and your behaviors instead of assigning blame to others and circumstances which really helped me to attain a sense of peace.

This book is able to bring you to another perspective. I invite all those who want to know what's wrong with their lifes to read it.
