Hugh van Cuylenburg was a primary school teacher volunteering in northern India when he had a life-changing realisation: despite the underprivileged community the children were from, they were remarkably positive. By contrast, back in Australia Hugh knew that all too many people found it hard to be happy, or suffered from mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. His own little sister had been ravaged by anorexia nervosa.

In this book you will discover:
* Powerful and touching stories from people Hugh has met and helped during his years on the road spreading the message of resilience.
* An exploration of the neuroscience of ‘resilience’ and how we can address it.
* The crucial role of parents in helping raise happier children (and how to do it).
