Book Description

Anywhere we go, we're bound to encounter people that can be difficult to deal with. In the workplace, church, neighborhood, or even within your own family, there is always that one person who tends to be unpleasant, or even downright offensive. In an office, verbal abuse from the perfectionist boss and/or catty behavior from your colleagues can cause a lot of emotional and mental turmoil for a thin-skinned or highly sensitive person. On the other hand, thick-skinned people don't seem to be bothered by all the nastiness and disapproval around them. Just to be clear, being sensitive does have its advantages in certain situations. For example, it allows you to more easily empathize with someone else and thereby enhances your ability to recognize emotions in other people. That said though, the ability to be emotionally strong during challenging or difficult situations is equally (if not more) valuable. For example, it's important not to allow your emotions to affect your job performance, or your peace of mind for that matter. Being thick-skinned allows a person to live his or her life without worrying too much about what other people think. When all is said and done, emotional strength significantly contributes to a person's internal peace and sense of happiness. This book is specifically designed to help you develop greater emotional strength and resiliency. By learning to be thick-skinned, you will be able to perform better at work, regain your peace of mind, and generally, you will enjoy a much happier life. What are you waiting for? Let's get started!
