De: Hugh van Cuylenburg

Narrado por: Hugh van Cuylenburg

1 in 4 adolescents have a mental illness
1 in 7 primary school kids have a mental illness
1 in 5 adults will experience mental ill-health throughout the year
65% of adolescents do not seek help for mental illness

THE POWER OF EXPERIENCE
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.

A PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
How was it that young people he knew at home, who had food, shelter, friends and a loving family, struggled with their mental health, while these kids seemed so contented and resilient?

He set about finding the answer and in time identified three pivotal traits - gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness - which seemed to underpin the children's resilience.

SHARING WISDOM, IGNITING CHANGE
In the ensuing years Hugh threw himself into studying and sharing this revelation with the world through
The Resilience Project, with his playful and unorthodox presentations which both entertain and inform.

Now, with the same blend of humour, poignancy and clear-eyed insight that The Resilience Project has become renowned for, Hugh explains how we can all get the tools we need to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Loved this book

I really loved this book. I feel like I’ve learnt a lot and plan to send a copy to my sisters. It’s one of those books I think I’ll remember forever. Loved the reading of it too. Such a humble awesome guy. Totally recommend it :)

Profoundly moving.

Inspiring, lovely and beautiful. I could listen to it all over again. The author has done his sister proud in the telling of her story and his. Highly recommend.

What a GEM

I was enthralled with Hugh's book from the moment I started listening. While I have practiced gratitude for many years, there was just something about his stories that made me realise there is SO MUCH MORE I can be grateful for every day. The GEM practice (gratitude, empathy and mindfulness) is a very simple one to put into place.
Check out his podcast too !!

In terms of influence this book will achieve the status of Atlas Shrugged. I would highly recommend it.

READ dis!

Wonderful truths birthed in a humble heart of openness. Walked away with many gems and am grateful in particular for his sharing on how he adapts grateful and wanting to help others phikosphy onto his business projections. "Be in the moment, grateful and look after now and give it 100%, the future is one now at a time!" I'm paraphrasing, but that's the point. Each of us takes what we need from this exceptional book.

A wonderful inspiring book and a must read!!

I fel in love with this book. This should be in every school in the hole world!

This audible will change your life!!

Thank you for such an incredible story that made me reflect and make some awesome changes moving forward that I look forward to also sharing with the people around me.

Very inspiring.
