Amy Morin was the first person to introduce the world to the concept of mental strength with her internationally bestselling book, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do. Since then, the conversation around mental health has dramatically evolved. Topics that were once taboo—anxiety, therapy, self-care—no longer carry stigma, and more and more people are looking for ways to become happier, healthier, and more resilient. But as Morin knows best, mental strength is a muscle—and to get stronger, you have to put in the work.

Amplifying the breakthrough advice from her bestselling books, Morin presents an interactive workbook for anyone looking to kick bad mental habits and fortify their mental muscle. A powerful and practical toolkit for building mental strength, this workbook deploys activities, prompts, science-based research, and stories to help readers become the best versions of themselves. Morin challenges readers to put the tried-and-true advice that has resonated with millions into real-life practice. Beyond identifying the 13 things that hold readers back—from indulging in self-pity, to agonizing over things beyond your control, to resenting the achievements of others—the workbook presents exercises that will teach readers how to create a custom mental strength-building plan. Morin positions easy-to-follow prompts and unique activities like:

• Change the channel in your brain to stop ruminating
• Calculate levels of fear to take more risks
• Change your language into empowered mentality
• Name your emotions to avoid discomfort

Asking readers to interact with their most common and crucial problems, this workbook acts as the ultimate guide for psychological toughness. Ultimately, with hard work, readers will learn how to train their brains to navigate adversity, break free of problematic patterns, and drastically improve their lives.
