“Real Strength: Build Your Resilience and Bounce Back from Anything” is another book from the psychologies magazine range by Capstone (A Wiley Brand) and I really enjoy these types of books which have questionnaires to help work out what type of assistance you need, and real techniques and actual therapies to help you through and beyond difficult situations.

“Real Strength” is about bouncing back from anything and teaches you how to deal with change, problems and opportunities in a healthy way, whilst building resilience and physiological strength in order to thrive , despite adversity.

I am sure I cannot be the only one to say that life has certainly chucked more than a handful of obstacles my way. I’m pretty good at handling that and often get told how positive I am – sometimes to a fault (so I’m told – as if I’m ignorant! Hell no!) But from what I understand from this book, being positive is nothing to do with ignorance and has everything to do with seeing the world / issue for what it is, and dealing with it the best way possible. Obstacles are challenges to overcome. I don’t bury my head in the sand, I’ve just learnt how to be resilient and accept things I cannot change.

What I love about this book, is that it takes my way of thinking even further and offers some great techniques to help you bounce back from anything.

“Real Strength” is about taking control of your life, tackling uncertainty and learning to not only see things differently, but to manage your emotions, cope with change and being more aware of the here and now. To relieve ourselves from those stress-inducing worrying thoughts that can consume us.

Each chapter encourages you to take action via exercises and real life stories. It’s a comprehensive, encouraging book and another one of which I have spent time reading and highlighting the pages. Yes I do write and draw in these self-help books, I fully believe it’s the best way to learn! Very happy to add this to my Capstone Collection.

Good animation, storyline easy to follow, some good humour (0 more)
Good for a kids film
After seeing the secret Life of pets, I felt I needed to then see the second one. We opted for the new odeon luxe that has opened. I feel that this may have contributed to an increased score. The storyline was good, no prolonged intro which was great for the kids. Some scary moments which my daughter wasn't too impressed with but every movie needs its ups and downs! Some excellent humour and some excellent correlation to real life (fox in the farm, cone of shame). Overall, something just didn't hit the spot to say it was fantastic, however overall a good film

Not your Grandma’s sci-fi novel
The tech future has made the biggest game in the world a red vs blue expirence akin to esports and March Madness. The world of the game is highly realized, the augmented reality in real life serves as an addictivly immersive expirence. The young billionaire who created the program has layers upon layers that our heroine, Emika, peels back as she gets to know him. She is a hacker, a coder, a bounty hunter, and an all around badass, whose past is difficult but precious to her once her life gets turned upside down and she joins the annual Warcross tournament.
A great, fast paced read.

The beautiful narrative follows the life of Lale, a Slovakian linguist who finds himself labouring as a ‘Tätowierer‘ within a concentration camp. The interactions of the prisoners and their captors portrays the full spectrum of humanity. Knowing that the cast of real life characters may not survive the war, is a stark reminder that every one of the seventeen million people who died during the Holocaust, had a story of their own. There are a number of formidable novels that depict this harrowing time, they ensure we never forget the strength and tenacity it took to live and love in the harshest of circumstances. Definitely one to read before the film is released.
