Description
When Amy Morin posted a list entitled the 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don t Do, online she didn t expect to create an international sensation. Within five days of it being published, it was reprinted on the Forbes website. It has since become Forbes s most read article of all time, and the page view of the article reached over 8 million page views in 7 weeks and it continues to attract thousands of readers per day

In just 600 words, Morin had introduced the world to the concept of mental strength. The article explains how mentally strong people avoid things that drag them down -- like feeling sorry for themselves, resenting other people s success, and dwelling on the past. Instead, they think, feel, and behave in a way that helps them overcome challenges and become their best.

Now in THE 13 THINGS MENTALLY STRONG PEOPLE AVOID Morin expands upon her original list that has become an anthem for so many people around the world. The book will provide practical strategies to help readers avoid those 13 common habits that are likely to hold them back in life. Morin s book will combine compelling anecdotal stories with original research-based information to illustrate how to avoid these unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that everyone is prone to at one time or another.

The book will teach readers how to create a happier, healthier lifestyle while also preparing them to deal with life s inevitable hardships and tragedies. And she will share for the first time her own harrowing story of the passing of her mother followed a year later by the unexpected death of her young husband, and how she has managed to summon the mental strength to move on. Mental strength isn t just about acting tough; it s about feeling empowered to overcome life s challenges.

As a licensed clinical social worker, college psychology instructor and psychotherapist, Amy Morin has seen countless people choose to succeed despite facing enormous challenges. Her clinical observations about what helps people reach their goals -- and what common pitfalls pose barriers to success -- combined with her knowledge of the latest research, will show people how to develop the skills they need to become mentally strong. Morin is the only person in the psychology industry who is talking about mental strength on a global level.
