About The Book
Why is life getting harder instead of easier?
How do I get back up after life knocks me down?
And how do I grow stronger and live more intentionally?
We no longer have the tools to handle failure…or even perceived failure. When we fall, we lie on the sidewalk crying. When we spill, we splatter. When we crack, we shatter. We are turning into an army of porcelain dolls.
Cell phones show us we’re never good enough. Yesterday’s butterflies are tomorrow’s panic attacks. Record numbers suffer from anxiety, depression, and loneliness. What do we need to learn? RESILIENCE. And we need to learn it fast.
Let this #1 international bestseller teach you:
-The 2-minute morning practice that helps eliminate stress
-What every commencement speech gets wrong
-3 questions that help tell yourself a different story
-The single word that keeps your options open after failure
-Why you need an Untouchable Day (and how to get one)
…and much, much more!
Because the truth is, you really are awesome.

Raves and Reviews
"Bestselling author and super popular TED talker Pasricha narrates his likable audiobook, which helps listeners be a little happier when grappling with life's inevitable failures and challenges. Moving beyond merely stating that resilience matters, Pasricha offers concrete, achievable steps toward its practice. In personable short chapters, the author shares a variety of actionable tips: a powerful word that helps keep a sense of options open after failure, ways to dramatically increase the ability to learn and adapt, a short morning practice to help banish worry, and the super useful concept of 'untouchable days'—going completely off-line and being unreachable to increase creativity and productivity. His narrative brims with engaging research and quirky personal examples that infuse this audiobook with an irresistible sense of possibility."
