About this listen

Do you often feel overwhelmed with stress?

Does fear hold you back from your goals?

Do you ever feel like quitting when it gets tough?

At some point in our lives, we’ve all had to face what seems like an impossible challenge. But imagine being fully in control of your emotional state and having a transformational toolkit that will allow you to deal with any obstacle life throws at you....

In this life-changing book, James Elliott brings together all his years of experience as an accredited psychotherapist, resilience coach, and ex-paratrooper to help you develop your five pillars of mental resilience: confidence, emotional intelligence, physical health, goals, and relationships. James’ eye-opening pillars will show you how to:

  • Understand and manage your emotional response to any situation
  • Harness your fears and overcome insecurities to achieve your goals
  • Find strength in your vulnerabilities and reframe failure
  • Unlearn negative behavioral patterns and replace them with positive ones
  • Set boundaries and avoid toxic relationships

Packed with practical techniques, including James’ groundbreaking tried-and-tested MIND method, Think Yourself Resilient will show you how you can train your brain to tackle life’s daily challenges, overcome self-doubt, and turn surviving into thriving.

Perfect for fans of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?, Atomic Habits, and Mindset.

Critic reviews

"'James offers a powerful and pragmatic approach to understanding how to build resilience. He is authentic, relatable and inspiring in offering invaluable insights on how to overcome life’s daily challenges." (Damian Hughes, high-performance expert and best-selling coauthor of High Performance)

"James provides an authentic and inspiring book that is thought provoking and powerful on every page...easily digestible through the 5 pillars and most importantly can be achieved by all! It's as much brilliant as it is relatable and provides an in depth and compelling view on a topic previously difficult to articulate." (Coach Mike Chadwick, author of The Red on Revolution)

In a world filled with background noise, physical and emotional demands and a seemingly-constant lack of time, James asks if it’s any wonder why we are full of anxiety? His narrative encourages the reader to slow down and pause, taking breath (physically and metaphorically) to examine the separateness of our existence. Why must we merge with the dissonance of our surroundings? It is entirely in our power to draw strength and power from within.

In his book, James provides practical, uncomplicated exercises in personal and situational awareness that aim to fit into modern life. He draws on his own lived experience of adversity and triumph as well as his knowledge of neurodevelopment, socio-economic issues and human behaviour to eloquently explain the reasons behind our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Throughout the 5 chapters, James explains what it really means to be mentally resilient and how we all have the intrinsic power to harness this. He describes the power of emotional intelligence and emphasises its importance in developing and nurturing human connections. James seeks to break the toxic stereotypes about how humans should behave and instead encourages continuous evaluation and positive change.

This book is a must-read for anyone dealing with low self-esteem and serves as a guide to encourage the reader to examine their inner world, discarding any beliefs that no longer serve them and creating an inner core of safety and security.

James was my therapist for a time in my life when I needed a way to pick myself out of a progressively worsening mental state. The lessons and tools he taught me are exactly those he has explained in his book. As I listened, I could recall a time that I have used every single one of them and loved listening to them again. I actually pre-ordered the physical version of this book, but when I realised he had done the audio for it himself, I couldn’t think of any other way to see what he had put into it, than to listen. I am glad that he has published his book so that his lessons and tools can be accessible to so many more people. I’m a very different person to who I was before I met James and I’m so glad. I’d recommend this to anyone.

Some self help books will convince you to read them because they claim to be able to change you. James Elliott cuts through the BS to not only crystallise the British Army resilience methodology (for which he was the catalyst) but has also manages to relate to insightful and often deeply moving examples about his own experiences, human flaws, upbringing, personal growth, and inspirational life now dedicated to helping others.

Only you can change you, but if you read / listen to this book it will give you a solid framework from which to reflect and build upon. JE - thank you for this superb title and here’s hoping for many more to come. SF

TYR is a must listen to title by one of the most authentic former military leadership authors out there today.
