Think Yourself Resilient by James Elliott (Thread Books)

Think Yourself Resilient focuses on how to let us turn surviving into thriving. The book is written through the author's observation and practice, from his professional and personal life. 

We pursue greatness and face tragedies every day and we have to have faith in our abilities to handle these situations. Resilience is the emotional robustness to succeed when there are many inevitable and obvious reasons to quit. Resilience is working towards any goal, it is courage, endurance, and adversity. 

James Elliott introduces a model called the Five Pillars of Mental Resilience, which is the idea that an individual’s mental resilience is supported by five key building blocks: 

- confidence, 

- emotional intelligence, 

- physical health, 

- goals, 

- and relationships.

Each of those chapters contains a detailed plan on how to develop each pillar to maximize our mental resilience using the MIND method,

A very useful guide to achieving the understanding that we can undo or unlearn whatever blocks us. We cannot perform beyond our own level of self-worth and self-esteem. We really can learn how to build mental resilience.
