We're told that if we have it, our lives will be happy and successful ones. If we don't, we need to acquire it.<br /><br />But what if the version of resilience we've been peddled is a myth?<br /><br />Here, <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author Bruce Daisley demolishes a concept that has spawned a multi-million pound industry of books, workshops and courses, exposing the highly questionable science it rests on. In its place he outlines a very different approach to good mental health that embraces the latest science and research.<br /><br />Offering empirically tested advice, <i>Fortitude </i>sets out a practical path to greater self-confidence and courage for us all.<br />_____________________________________________<br /><br /><b>'Something I never knew I needed to read but I'm so glad I did, its opened up a whole angle of thinking.'
