From New York Times bestselling psychologist Dr Tasha Eurich comes the myth-busting guide to transforming adversity into strength
We’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to overcoming life’s most difficult moments. According to New York Times bestselling author and organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is one major problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure, uncertainty, and chaos we’re experiencing today.
Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative. What if, instead of merely bouncing back from stressors and setbacks, we could harness them for forward growth? Drawing on decades of research, fascinating stories, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis, Eurich will smash your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity. You will learn how
Recognize the specific stressors that uniquely trigger each of usFind peace in the present and be prepared for what the future holdsTurn stress into strength, exhaustion into energy, and confusion into confidenceAnd much more
When we become shatterproof, we learn that in the times that break us, we have the unique chance to remake ourselves – paving the way to feel better, do better, and live better than ever before.

2025 reads, #4. Wow, almost May and I’ve still only posted four book reviews so far for the year, when normally I would be through 40 of them at this point! That’s because 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most stressful so far of my entire life, and I’ve just been so overwhelmed by bad vibes, dead family members, and unending 80-hour freelance work weeks that I’ve been barely able to get any reading done in the first place, much less do any write-ups of those reads. That made it a lucky coincidence, then, that Tasha Eurich’s Shatterproof: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos (and Why Resilience Alone Isn’t Enough) happened to show up at my neighborhood public library this week, so I decided to carve out some time to get through this and hopefully learn some new techniques for dealing with the unceasing amount of stress that’s been foisted on me so far this year.
But alas, like a lot of these kinds of books, Eurich’s title is misleading; instead of saying, “Why Resilience Alone Isn’t Enough,” it should actually say, “Why Resilience Alone AS IT IS DEFINED BY HOLLYWOOD AND THE SO-CALLED ‘WELLNESS INDUSTRY’ Isn’t Enough.” For Eurich’s main point here is that the mainstream media tends to exclusively emphasize that resilience is about developing coping skills and learning how to bounce back from trauma, but that an entire half of resilience is actually about figuring out how to change your situation so to lessen or outright avoid this trauma in the future, essentially using that trauma to transform your life into a better one than it was before; and while that’s certainly insightful, it’s also the exact same lesson already being taught by the “7 C’s of Resilience,” originally created by Kenneth Ginsburg way back in 2014, which means that the lessons in this book are neither particularly new nor something beyond or in addition to resilience, but simply an already established and well-known aspect of resilience that generally doesn’t get talked about by the toxic-positivity “You Got This!” crowd.
Granted, it isn’t an intuitive lesson about “bouncing back” from things, and also took me by surprise when I first learned about it a couple of years ago; that’s why I’m ultimately giving this book 3 stars, despite the fact that its message is kind of messy and not nearly the kind of pivotal new breakthrough about the world that Eurich acts like it is. See, the idea is that the wellness industry likes to depict resilience like a muscle, an inexhaustible resource where regular exercise makes it stronger and stronger; but in reality, resilience is more like a rechargeable battery, where the most you can do is recharge back to where you originally were, never go beyond it. And like a rechargeable battery, you actually lose a few percentage points off the top each time you recharge, making it more and more difficult to bounce back from adversity, the more you’re required to bounce back.
Therefore, the goal in life is not to continually repeat the “trauma-recovery-trauma-recovery” cycle, which is how the wellness industry presents it, since the wellness industry has billions of dollars to gain from keeping you in this cycle; the goal is to end the trauma for good, using things like your intelligence and problem-solving skills, which basically falls under the “Control” part of Ginsburg’s 7 C’s (or as his organization puts it, “optimizing the outcomes of your decisions,” so that you have the most control possible over that decision turning out well instead of badly). Each time you successfully do this, Eurich argues, you’re proving to yourself a little more that you’re capable of changing your life, which exactly matches Ginsburg’s C of “Competence;” and the more times you exercise competence, the more sure you’ll feel that you’ll be able to do it again in the future, which exactly lines up with Ginsburg’s “Confidence.” And sure, Eurich argues, sometimes that involves making scary decisions that temporarily make your life actually worse than it was before, until the good effects finally have a chance to kick in; but that’s where Ginsburg’s “Character” and “Contribution” come in, basically your ability to devote yourself to what you perceive as morally right, even if that’s the more difficult option, as well as your sense of being a part of something bigger than yourself, and the feeling that these difficult decisions have a larger purpose.
If the book had only had just this problem, the problem of presenting information as brand-new when in fact it’s already been around in a highly famous form for quite a while, I would’ve been tempted to give this 3 and a half stars and then round up to 4; because as I said, this truly is really useful information about resilience, and it truly is surprising information that I suspect a lot of people have never really thought about in this way. Unfortunately, though, there’s another major problem going on here, and it’s another very common problem in this particular genre, which is that Eurich has basically taken a LinkedIn article’s worth of unique, useful information and has tried to pad it out to a 300-page book (a phenomenon I like to cheekily refer to as “TED Talk Syndrome”). That has led here not only to a book whose appendices take up an entire 40 percent of the page count; but of the 60 percent devoted to the actual body text, an entire third of that is devoted to stories from the real world to illustrate the point she just made in the section previous. So in other words, only 3 out of every 5 pages in this book is devoted to actual content in the first place, then 1 out of every 3 of those pages is simply Eurich saying, “See, I told you it would work!”, making it an unacceptably slim 40 percent of these pages actually devoted to unique, interesting information.
As a full-time book editor, this drives me absolutely bonkers, so let me offer all of you the same advice for free that my clients usually pay a lot of money for -- in every single case, every single time without exception, a short but intellectually packed nonfiction book is better than that same book now padded out to what its marketers consider a “commercially acceptable” level. I wish Eurich had learned this lesson herself before publishing it, but she didn’t, which is why I absolutely cannot in good conscience give this book any higher of a score than a 2 and a half rounded up to 3, despite the fact that the content itself is actually quite useful. Keep it all in mind when deciding whether or not to read it yourself.

I picked up this book as I really enjoyed Insight, a previous book by this author. While the information and tips are very valuable, as other readers noted, the material was not new to me. It was basically "grow through what you go through" repackaged. The book itself is only around 200 pages. The remainder is appendices and references. Still, a good read, so giving it 3 stars.

Amazing book! Such great insights and helped me understand my behavior at work, and learn how to take responsibility for those needs, communicate about them, and get them met.

Liked the book. I listened to it but think it would be better in my physical form to see the chapter summaries and possibly take notes. I think I’ll look into the workbook. Biggest take away was be your own doctor with the EDS diagnosis hitting g close to home.

"Our sense of confidence is surprisingly unrelated to our actual abilities."
"Notably, it is our subjective confidence, and not our objective performance, that most reliably predicts well-being."
"Without heartbreak, we cannot feel joy. Without failure, we cannot know success. And, without tragedy, we cannot know transcendence."

Shatterproof by Tasha Eurich offers a refreshing and much-needed alternative to the concept of resilience, challenging the way we’ve been taught to cope with adversity. Instead of simply bouncing back, Eurich introduces the idea of shatterproofing—a proactive, science-backed approach to facing life’s inevitable struggles with confidence, clarity, and personal growth.
Divided into three distinct parts, the book begins by examining the limitations of resilience, moves into preparing the reader to go beyond it, and finally introduces concrete tools and frameworks for becoming shatterproof. Each chapter follows an engaging and accessible structure: starting with a compelling anecdote, followed by scientific insights, and concluding with actionable strategies. This approach makes the book not only informative but also deeply practical.
What stood out most were the chapters on the limits of resilience, pivots, choice, and connection. Eurich effectively breaks down why the traditional “just be resilient” mindset can be harmful, particularly in environments where people lack the necessary support. She highlights how resilience training, especially in the workplace, can backfire—leaving individuals feeling more stressed and ashamed. Instead, Shatterproof provides a framework for making proactive choices, managing negative self-talk, and finding meaningful support systems.
What makes this book truly valuable is its balance of insightful psychology and real-world application. Eurich doesn’t just present theory; she provides clear, actionable steps that readers can immediately apply to their lives. Her writing is engaging, her arguments are well-supported by research, and her approach feels fresh in a sea of self-help books that often repeat the same ideas.
For anyone feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or stuck in the cycle of just “pushing through,” Shatterproof offers a powerful alternative. It’s an insightful and empowering read that challenges conventional wisdom and provides a new path forward—one that doesn’t just help us survive challenges but allows us to thrive because of them.

Resilience isn't exactly what many people think it is. It's not the cure-all. It's not being better, and it's not a matter of willpower. Resilience is returning to baseline after a traumatic or otherwise challenging/painful event. It's impacted by many factors, which may not be within the control of each individual.
Shatterproof is a way to help yourself prepare and recover from challenging events. It's a mindset, a set of actions, and a different way to navigate the world.
I have been shattered by trauma, particularly as a child. This is a book I recommend for anyone who wants to help themselves realistically recover from and prepare for difficulties, including trauma. I'm buying my own copy.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

I finished Shatterproof back in April, and it’s still with me. If I could add a subtitle, it would be: “How to Become the CEO of Your Life.” If her earlier work, Insight, is a masterclass in self-awareness, Shatterproof is another masterclass, this time reaching well beyond the boundaries of resilience.
We often think resilience means simply rebounding from setbacks, but the author shows that this mindset has limits. She offers something far more powerful: the ability to use challenges as springboards for growth and to find clarity in uncertainty.
Tasha Eurich’s vulnerability, decades of research, and lived experience through a profound health crisis make this a powerful, honest, and unforgettable guide. It’s not just about weathering adversity. It’s about remaking yourself in its wake so you can feel better, do better, and live better.

October 10, 2025When I’m stressed, I frequently do this thing where I seek out and inhale media that theoretically ideally hopefully will cure my stresses, but in the state I’m in at those times ragged sad and flashed-back I’m in no state to hear numerous case studies of bad shit people have been through and overcome, and if it’s an audiobook (this was an audiobook), I’ll listen on 1.5x or 2x speed, blasting my brain, exposure as injury. I’m not saying this wasn’t a good book (why can tell?) I’m just saying in the future I hope I can find the serenity to just sit with my feelings or do something outdoors or chill when I’m feeling the way that drives me to self help and personal development titles. As far as I can tell, resting when burned out, is the message of this book too.

Simultaneously a personal story and a guide to craft your own journey, Tasha really delivers an impactful, timely and extremely important work in Shatterproof. The concepts are delivered in a highly digestible and actionable manner, while not feeling simplistic or basic. I cannot recommend this book enough - for everyone these days (aren’t most of us struggling with resilience in a post pandemic world?). I have to add if you really want the impact, do the work in the appendices; it’s not enough to read the book, the supplementary pieces are essential to getting everything out of this fantastic page turner.

Amazing Book on Becoming Shatterproof
Although I did not do all the exercises and assessments, I enjoyed reading the book and considering Tasha Eurich’s viewpoints. Eurich has given me a lot to think about, and I may return to her book to complete the exercises and assessments.
Many of us believe that some people are just lucky with good fortune smiling upon them. But Eurich herself demonstrates through her own personal experiences that people themselves create their own good fortune through thoughtful hard work and dedication to an end result. Eurich’s personal story is inspiring in itself.

Most of the advice is not dangerous, but I found this book annoying. The title is about redefining "resilience" so the author can come up with a supposedly new term, except it's not new, and her explanation of it with the cell phone that does in fact shatter doesn't even make sense. As is typical with these books, there are the favorable mentions of previous psychobabble authors like Brené Brown. There's also a lot of anecdotal first-person stuff about dealing with an illlness by reading the primary medical literature and nationwide doctor-shopping; this doesn't apply to most people and so might be more discouraging than encouraging.

Shatterproof by Tasha Eurich is an insightful and compelling read that combines research with relatable storytelling. Eurich masterfully offers practical strategies to help readers overcome challenges and thrive in the face of adversity. Her engaging writing style makes complex psychological concepts accessible, empowering readers to foster a growth mindset. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their emotional strength and navigate life's difficulties with confidence. Highly recommended!

We are constantly told to be resilient, but is that what we should be doing?
Turns out, being resilient may actually cause shame, stress, and poor life satisfaction if you don’t have the support needed to be resilient, or if you are just told to be resilient with every single thing, especially in a workplace. Those companies that have resilience training have employees leaving the meeting more stressed, ashamed.
So instead, learn to become shatterproof. Be proactive in your choices, be confident, and find support along the way. This book really helps break down where things can go wrong, and how we can rebuild ourselves by having specific needs, dampening negative self talk, and creating a fulfilling life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it really helped me see things in a different light. This is a refreshing, new self help book, and I don’t think the material is repetitive or similar to other self help strategy books.

Shatterproof by Tasha Eurich is worth the read or listen. Tasha narrates the book, which is something I like. She has a great voice and kept me listening even through some of the repetitive parts. I would recommend the book, but for me personally, a lot of what is said I have heard before. That said, it is worth hearing again. If you are struggling with life or feel that you are being hit with too much to handle, then give this book a try. Trasha has many great tasks to help with that.

Acted as a beta reset for this powerful look at resilience and the profound implication that what happens when resilience works, until it doesn’t? Just like physical fatigue and emotional burnout, one can hit a resilience ceiling. How do we push forward and grow as a result of our hardest trials?
September 9, 2025
This book gave me much to think about and consider about how to navigate life. I appreciated the authors stories, examples, and most of all personal vulnerability. I am looking forward to putting it to practice.
September 28, 2025
4.5 - this book felt like it was written for me. the first section (i.e., the problem) described my mental state to a tee. second section (solutions) less strong, but still compelling. also maybe I need a zero-g bed?
June 2, 2025
A good book with actionable items when life gets “too tough to handle”.
August 3, 2025
Fantastic for high achievers who need reframing and tools. I didn’t learn much new
August 28, 2025
3.5 just because I feel I didn't learn anything new from it.
September 19, 2025
Listened to the audiobook. There were several interesting tidbits and advice. However, I think I would need to sit and read this to get more out of it.
September 30, 2025
Really good insights on the concepts around resilience and our human nature in overcoming obstacles. Really appreciated a new perspective.
October 21, 2025
I found this book insightful, thought provoking, and full of excellent tools to be used in personal growth and life transformation.

Very helpful in navigating the chaos of living in the 21st century.
