No one is born resilient. But you have the power to become stronger than you think.
At one point or another, life will break us open—through loss, trauma, betrayal, or heartbreak. But as psychologist Dr. Sherry Hamby reveals, we are never beyond repair. We all have an incredible capacity for greater resilience.
In Stronger Than You Think, Dr. Hamby shatters the conventional wisdom that says resilience is something you either have or don’t. Instead, it is a modifiable process—and like any process, it can be learned, practiced, and built upon.
Drawing on over 30 years of original research, clinical work, and a growing body of evidence, this groundbreaking book gives you the tools to build your own resilience portfolio—a set of evidence-based strategies and resources that can help you flourish despite life’s hardest moments. Along the way, you’ll learn:
The everyday, science-backed practices you can rely on to feel calmer and more regulated
How cultivating an authentic sense of purpose changes everything—including giving your trauma meaning
How our social and physical ecologies can make us more or less resilient, and how to make necessary changes
Why traditional therapy and medication can only take us so far, and how to take it one step further
You don’t have to be tough or gritty to thrive. You just have to know how to build your strength.
