Amy Morin, a former psychotherapist turned “accidental” author, initially embarked on her career with the intention of aiding others in building mental resilience. Little did she anticipate the profound need for mental strength in her own life, marked by the losses of her mother at 23 and her husband at 26, igniting a personal quest for resilience. Through her exploration of mental strength, she discovered the importance of not only cultivating positive habits but also avoiding detrimental ones. During a low point in 2013, she penned a letter outlining 13 habits that could undermine mental resilience, which unexpectedly garnered widespread attention online, reaching over 50 million readers. This led to the publication of six bestselling books, selling over 1 million copies globally, catalyzing a transformative journey in her life.
