The book accepts that we all face challenges in our lives which impact what we are able to achieve, but also challenges us to acknowledge that the reason why someone else appears to be more successful, or just have a better, happier life than us isn't because they are more intelligent than us, they don't have more skills or knowledge than us, neither are they any luckier than us.
No!
The reason why some people appear to be more successful or happier is because they were and are better at dealing with the challenges that obstruct their path. They pick themselves up, dust themselves off and start all over again, as some lyricist once wrote.
The secret to achieving a happy successful life is simple, you need to learn how to become emotionally resilient! Karia provides tips for handling negativity, including adopting power poses, changing focus, using questions to develop greater self-awareness, and more.
This is a slim book that is easy to read and contains valuable advice which is backed up by research.
