Resilience Road: Exploring Your Authentic Life Path
How many times have you taken a look at your life and thought these words? "Things have got to change."
Well, Beth had said them before, but when she opened her eyes in the ICU, paralyzed from the neck down and facing a tremendous fight to regain very basic functions, she knew she finally meant them. Her story is one of resilience: in the face of disease, life's unexpected curves, and a journey that veers off the track.
With total honesty and refreshing humor, Beth reflects on the checklist-style life she'd been living and conquering. Career. Husband. Kids. House in the suburbs. But then her body tells her in no uncertain terms that it's time to slow down and take a hard look at what she has... and what she really wants.
In sharing her own deeply personal experiences, Beth introduces us to the tools and philosophies she has developed along the way and now uses in her therapy practice. This is the story of a courageous comeback that is really a breakthrough to living an authentic life on your own terms.

This is an amazing book about learning from the obstacles that one faces and continuing to try to create an authentic life. Throughout her life, Beth faced medical issues as well as relationship problems while she struggled to figure out whether she truly wanted to do those things or she was just trying to follow the check list society had created.
A thoughtful book, exploring real struggle and resiliency with a toolkit to give the reader the ways to make it happen, Resilience Road is an touching memoir and self-help book, all in one! Beth is brutally honest about her perception of herself and the world, her mistakes and her takeaways. Through her experiences, she challenged me to think about my situation and relationship to society. She confirmed many of the thoughts I had been having in recent months and that is another reason I loved this book and will go back to it again!
I received this book as gift from Beth and our friendship developed more after reading it.

This book is aptly named. The author overcomes several obstacles in her life. She writes about them in an honest, straightforward style that is easy to read.
Some of the obstacles in our life are unavoidable, while others are brought on by the choices we make. Regardless, we can learn from reading about how the author grows, matures, and re-builds her life.
While your path to living an authentic life will certainly differ from hers, Beth Koritz gives sounds advice to help you see that the path is there.
The resources, quotes, and inspirational material included in the book make it worth the cost.
