Wholesale Everyday Vitality: Turning Stress Into Strength

In this book, psychiatrist Dr. Samantha Boardman offers strategies for finding strength in stress and transforming ordinary days into more fulfilling ones. Drawing from scientific research and clinical experience, she shares techniques for cultivating vitality—the positive feeling of aliveness and energy that underpins well-being and a good day. The three main wellsprings of vitality are meaningful connections, challenging experiences, and contributing beyond oneself. These activities foster resilience by boosting emotional stamina and generating uplifts, counteracting daily irritations. Commonplace experiences and micromoments, such as conversations, favors, walks, or reading, build everyday resilience.
