The book is easy to use, with a mix of checklists, exercises, anecdotes,
and resources guides at the back. It handles such issues as dealing with strong
emotions in a sensible style which avoids New Age jargon.
Resilience has useful brief sections on the valuable deeper approaches,
such as Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, and the Kubler Ross Grief Cycle
model.
I agree with Liggy that handling conflicts well is a key part of
personal resilience, and she has a good chapter on this, including
understanding your own ‘conflict style’, core skills for handling conflict, and
the Cool Down Model.

For me, the main limitation of this book is that it does not go deep
enough in its guidance or self-help processes on some key issues, such as
facing, clearing and reframing negative emotions. However, I would happily
recommend it as a sound basic starter to the subject.
