"Amy Morin's book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do is about developing mental strength. The type of mental strength that means knowing you'll be okay no matter what happens in your life. It teaches you not only to deal with the realities of life, but also how to live according to your values no matter what life throws your way. Her book focuses on how mentally strong people avoid negative behaviors. This book explains how to choose behavior based on balanced emotions and rational thinking. It analyses 13 self-defeating mental weaknesses. Each chapter offers a quick quiz to see if you possess this particular problem. The style and formatting of the book is easy on psychological terms and organized in a practical style making light reading of a serious subject matter. It uses real life examples, bullet points, and famous quotes at the beginning of each chapter. The chapters are then summarized with ‘What's Helpful' and ‘What's Not Helpful' when avoiding destructive thoughts and emotions. They say that your perception is your reality. If you learn to stop dwelling on the past, take more calculated risks, embrace change and never give up, you can create a reality that is your true potential. This is an inspiring book that teaches you that mental strength is not about being tough, it's about feeling empowered to overcome life's obstacles. I recommend this book to anyone who believes they deserve true success and happiness. Whether you're a stay at home mom or work in large company, Amy Morin gives you the secret of how to be your best self and reach what you are capable of achieving."
