Book 2, Post 1

 For my second book, I've decided to read Resilient by Dr. Rick Hanson. I will be honest and say I'm a bit behind as I've actually just gotten the book, but I'm going to start reading it this weekend. The reason I chose this book is, honestly, because the title stood out to me. I interpreted it as a book on how to gain mental toughness, which I feel I do a good job of staying mentally strong but can always get better. I think a lot of people can benefit from having good mental toughness. Especially now as a senior and preparing to enter the workforce, I'm well aware that things are only going to get harder before they start getting easier, and so a refresher on how to roll with those punches would be good for me. 

I became even more certain of my desire to read this book upon reading the writing from a former student of the class who read the book. The student wrote how the book helped him learn how to better cope with mental stress, and as I said before, I think that's something I'm going to need soon. I know I'm behind in that I haven't truly started reading, but I am excited to get started with this one.
