13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do

Based on 15 years of research as a psychotherapist, and her own personal experiences overcoming heartache, Amy Morin discovered that the secret to being mentally strong isn’t about what people do—it’s more about what they don’t do. She identified 13 common but unhealthy habits that keep people stuck in life. Giving up those habits helps people work smarter, not harder. When they don’t have these unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and emotions holding them back, their good habits become much more effective.

Based on her international bestselling book, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, Amy uses research, examples, and stories to explore:

• The main types of self-limiting beliefs

• The habits that rob us of mental strength

• The exercises that build mental muscle and help us to reach our greatest potential
