Winner of the 2013 Books for a Better Life Acorda Wellness Award and the 2014 Silver Nautilus Book Award

Resilience is the ability to face and handle life’s challenges, whether everyday disappointments or extraordinary disasters. While resilience is innate in the brain, over time we learn unhelpful patterns, which then become fixed in our neural circuitry. But science is now revealing that what previously seemed hardwired can be rewired, and Bouncing Back shows us how. With powerful, time-tested exercises, Linda Graham guides us in rebuilding our core well-being and disaster-proofing our brains.

Kumari

look for this author on podcasts or in audio interviews

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I heard the author on a podcast and i really, really liked what she had to say. So I bought her book.

The book is very long. It contains considerably more information than the hour long interview I heard, which is good. I dislike when an interesting speaker has nothing further to say in a book they are promoting than the promotional material itself.

My problem, the reason I rated the book only 3.5 out of 5 is compared to the very dynamic manner in which the author speaks, the writing is very dry. I read a lot and I read widely, and I don't think of my self as particularly finicky but this book is hard going for me. I take it along where ever I go and attempt to delve further. Sometimes I jump ahead, hoping for a more engaging part. . .you might wonder why I still persevere, when it's clearly such a chore.

I keep going because the material is important. The material teaches one resilience, and how to rewire one's own brain. The results are wonderful. I very much appreciate my newly minted resilience. I recommend doing the work. You won't be sorry.

This is a fantastic resource for learning about resilience. It has deepened my understanding of the beneficial blend of mindfulness, modern neuroscience and psychotherapy. It has empowered me to learn more about resilience and its application in my life and use with students that I work with within the educational system. Linda's book is a valuable resource jam packed with useful exercises and tips, tools for anyone wishing to grow in their understanding of their own mind and self development. Truly a valuable book! Thank You!

This should be required reading at some point in life

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book shows why mediation and tools from psychology work so well together and can help so many different kinds of emotional and personal problems. We are all subject to them, and it shows in a smart and supportive way how to understand what is happening on a bodily and emotional level when we interact with, are affected by, and affect others. There are so many helpful insights to being a grounded, wise, emotionally intelligent person, it should be required reading.

My only problem is with the title. I think it will throw many readers off, especially those who already feel resilient. Graham is talking about a much deeper set of issues than simply bouncing back. It should have been titled something like "Interconnected: Buddhism, Psychology, and You (in plain English)".

Brava Linda Graham! You've outlined and combined so many great teachings and gems from research in an accessible way.

Linda Graham beautifully presents support

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

Linda Graham beautifully presents support, guidance and strategies for connecting to and building your resilience. This book is a must read for anyone who believes that once depressed always depressed. Linda Graham outlines ways to rewire your brain, strategies to support changes in attitude, perspective and long term outcomes that prove resilience is a muscle that we can all exercise and grow.

I can rewire my tangled past into a logical, hopeful future.

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

In this informative book, I learned the way my brain is wired, why the wiring needs remediation, and how to get my brain to a healthier place. It takes deep thought to process this book, and a strong implementation plan to apply the strategies. But it's worth the work to process the bad things that have happened and come out with a new outlook and a new life.

Support for Handling Life's Challenges and Risks

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

Linda Graham's new book, Bouncing Back-- Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Being-- is really great-- clear, engaging, and compassionate in its concern for the growth and well-being of humanity. Bouncing Back rises to the challenge of bringing together the wisdom of psychotherapy, neuroscience, and mindfulness practice into a powerful new way of building inner strategies to cope with, and emerge stronger from, the inevitable aggravations and emotional upsets, even traumas, that can otherwise derail your life.

As a career and life transitions coach, I've been successfully using some of this book's dozens of helpful exercises with my clients to help them build confidence in making major changes in their lives-- a process that usually involves a lot of reaching out, falling down, and having to get back up again. These exercises are easy to use and really work. They can be used on their own or enhanced by the author's excellent text on why they work-- from psychological, neuroscience, and mindfulness research and experiential evidence. Bouncing Back has taken its place as a major tool on my professional bookshelf! I highly recommend it for coaches, therapists, and anyone who wishes to be able to rise to life's challenges and handle life's inevitable risks with more grace, grounding, and centering.

Great book.

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2013

Verified Purchase

It has wonderful exercises to help a person learn to focus and make choices in life to reduce suffering and increase joy. Of course, the secret is to work with the exercises. Just reading through them will not work. I would recommend this book to anyone who sincerely wants to improve their inner life.

IA very useful and interesting contribution to mind/body connection. It did meet my expectations, as I had heard a radio interview of the author. Full of good ideas, obviously successful for the author in her work. For a casual reader, such as myself, I found I could skip and skim and take from it ideas that i shall find useful.
