Positively Resilient

Delivered in his clear baritone voice, Paul Michael Garcia's performance is notable for his appealing palette of tones and phrases and his sensitive use of pauses. He sounds at once intellectually intense and personally inviting, a style that works well with a book that is full of life-changing ideas that use an intimate connection with the author to give it credibility. These are inspirational ideas, drawn from Martin Seligman's scientific work on positive psychology but crafted to reach hearts as well as minds. The author, an articulate executive coach, touches his audience by focusing on strategies from a subjective perspective--learning to be emotionally nimble when stressed, staying curious about new experiences, maintaining social supports, and keeping our minds and schedules free from extraneous, distracting content. An uncommonly satisfying audio to hear and absorb. T.W. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
