What others say about the book:
‘Whether it’s the stress of our jobs, family life, or a global pandemic – we all need to learn strategies and new, creative ways to build resilience and cultivate fortitude. That’s why this book is so important. There’s no one way to cope. There’s no one way to build resilience or fortitude. It’s life’s work.’ writes Marc Brackett from Yale University Centre for Emotional Intelligence in the Foreword to this book.
‘Coping in Good Times and Bad showcases many sound strategies, personal stories, and words of wisdom from a highly experienced psychologist and scholar. It is a very accessible, practical, and engaging resource that will be of tremendous benefit to adults, adolescents, and children alike’
