People increasingly need to develop (or reclaim) resilience in both their personal relationships and their inner struggles. Fortunately, the insights of neuroscience are increasingly providing guidelines. Graham (marriage and family therapist) shares some of them here, including the development of flexibility, resonant relationships, and somatic intelligence. She has clearly done some work with Buddhism, as evidenced in her loving kindness, compassion and equanimity practices and regular mention of staples such as the eightfold path. But the book also rests on the latest insights of neuroplasticity and relational psychology. Each chapter contains three to five exercises for building resilience and closes with a useful summary. Interspersed throughout are telling quotes from individuals as diverse as Charles Darwin and Viktor Frankl. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
