Better than Anticipated: A Practical Guide to Resilience-Centered Psychology and the Seven Protective Factors That Sustain You Through Anxiety, Stress, and Difficult Seasons - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the shelter you need is already yours?

Most books on anxiety, stress, and trauma ask you to fight what harms you. This one asks a different question: what has already been protecting you, and how do you strengthen it?

In Better Than Anticipated, Dr. Scott L. Pratt introduces Resilience-Centered Psychology, a practical framework grounded in original doctoral research. Instead of chasing symptom relief, you'll learn to identify the seven protective factors already at work in your life — self-identity, personal health, accomplishment, meaning and connectedness, positive activities and creativity, a healthy outlook, and positive engagement — and weave them into daily practice, so that when the next hard moment arrives, you have somewhere to reach.

This is not a book that promises to make you unshakeable. It promises something more honest, and more useful: that with practice, you will move through difficult seasons better than anticipated.

You are more resilient than you have been told. This book will help you see it, name it, and live from it.
