Publisher's Synopsis
Change your mindset on Resilience. You can be a tough cookie in life without having to be a total bad ass...and here's how! The Tough Cookie Philosophy goes one step beyond repetitive positive thinking and affirmations. It takes on a global approach by employing the complete acceptance of negativity and weakness along with positivity and focus on strength. You'll re-frame any self-doubt and low-confidence and start viewing it as a normal reaction to hardship, but an unhelpful one in your quest to build up your resilience and becoming a tough cookie. Put theory into practice by not only understanding the 'why' and 'how' of developing resilience, but by implementing useful actions to see actual change in improving it!Personal experiences (even the embarrassing ones) and a bit of wit and humor (or at least the attempt thereof) make the progress as educational and as enjoyable as possible.Battling your emotions and avoiding any weaknesses is never the answer. Accepting them, and learning how to manage them, is the first step to learning how to further develop yourself. You can't beat your subconscious into submission with insistent positive thinking alone, but you can reprogram it. The Tough Cookie Philosophy makes these steps feel more manageable and helps implement what you already know; so you can BE more, DO more and EXPERIENCE more.
