Buoyant. The Art and Science of a Resilient Life (en Inglés) - Gina Vild

"A lifeline for navigating personal hardship and the chaos of our times."--Andrew Carroll, four-time New York Times bestselling author

A science-backed and story-driven guide for staying afloat amid life's ups and downs.

If you've been shattered by grief, weighed down by loss, or overwhelmed by life's challenges, you're not alone. Adversity is a universal human experience, but your resilience--how you respond, adapt, and recover--shapes your outlook, strength, and well-being. What matters most isn't what happens to you, but how you rebound and chart a path forward--your buoyancy.

Buoyant is a science-backed, hope-filled road map for grief healing, trauma recovery, and post-traumatic growth. Author Gina Vild draws on psychology, neuroscience, timeless wisdom, poetry, and her experience--from discovering roses still blooming through a November snowfall after her life unraveled to exploring everyday habits that can regulate your stress--to show that resilience isn't something you're born with; it's a skill you can cultivate and strengthen at any age.

Buoyant offers inspiration with twenty-plus stirring stories of transformation from people who faced both unimaginable challenges and everyday struggles, and actionable steps in the form of "Buoyancy Boosters"--interactive exercises and practical coping strategies. These "Buoyancy Boosters" include surprising insights into how simple practices like mindfulness to gut-health-supporting foods can help regulate stress and build resilience. Put together, Buoyant is your toolkit to reframe pain, manage negative self-talk, embrace forgiveness, rediscover your sense of purpose, and build a supportive community. Whether you're healing after personal loss, navigating trauma recovery, overcoming professional setbacks, or simply trying to stay afloat in a chaotic world, Buoyant is your essential guide to a life of joy and meaning.
