But to do this, women must learn to improve their own mental strength. Contending with a host of difficult issuesโfrom sexual assault on college campuses, to equal pay and pay gaps, to mastering different negotiation stylesโdemands psychological toughness. In this crucial book, prominent psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker Amy Morin gives women the techniques to build mental muscleโand just as important, she teaches them what not to do. What does it mean to be a mentally strong woman?

Throughout, she explores the areas womenโand society at largeโmust focus on to become (and remain) mentally strong. Amy reveals that healthy, mentally tough women donโt insist on perfection; they donโt compare themselves to other people; they donโt see vulnerability as a weakness; they donโt let self-doubt stop them from reaching their goals. Wise, grounded, and essential, 13 Things Mentally Strong Women Donโt Do can help every woman flourishโand ultimately improve our society as well. ISBN:9780062911070
