Book excerpt: Life can be wonderful, and life can be wicked. There can be times in your life when you're happy: you're in love, your children are healthy, and you're professionally fulfilled. And there can be other times when you're worrying about whether you'll be able to get through: your finances have become a burden, your blood pressure is sky high, and your spouse has just left you. We all experience stresses and failures. The key is developing coping skills that can transform even the worst situation into an opportunity to build resilience--your capacity to deal with and push through different degrees of adversity. In this book, mental health expert Dr. William Howatt presents a five-part model to move you past the rut in your life and toward happiness. He first shows you how to build awareness of each area in your life--career, finances, relationships, physical health, and mental health. Then, he shows you to take accountability and make healthy changes that will improve your life. Finally, he gives you tools to build your resilience and take action to achieve your goals. Happiness and well-being are not destinations; they're an outcome of choices you make, and ways of being and living daily. William Howatt's model will help you make those choices in a smart way so you can stop hiding and start living.
