Books like Lose well by Chris Gethard


In *Lose Well*, comedian Chris Gethard turns a personal narrative into a laugh‑and‑learn self‑help book. He argues that failure is a creative process and the best way to discover who we truly want to be. Drawing from his own career defeats—such as a canceled Comedy Central sitcom and a return to public‑access television—he teaches readers how to reframe setbacks, laugh at the mess, and move forward on their individual paths. Gethard’s approach replaces rigid ‘seven‑step’ plans with real‑world stories, encouraging anyone from a newcomer in punk music to a parent launching an Etsy shop to live on their own terms by learning to "lose well."

The resilience workbook by 5897300|Schiraldi, Glenn R. book cover

📘 The resilience workbook

"Do you ever wonder why some people seem to sail capably through life's storms, while others are knocked down and never get back up? The answer is resilience. Resilience is the ability to recover from difficult experiences--such as the death of a loved one, a job loss, trauma, or a serious illness. It's the strength of body, mind, and character that enables people to respond well to adversity. In short, resilience is the cornerstone of good mental health and wellness. So, how can you build resilience?"--
