Duct Tape Isn't Enough and Reaching Home
In Duct Tape Isn’t Enough, Dr. Ron Breazeale has created a unique and effective method for doing just that. He combines his novel, Reaching Home, which outlines his own achievement over adversity, with a hands-on workbook and other training materials that provide a step-by-step method for learning and building the skills and attitudes that create resilience.
Written in cooperation with the Maine Resilience Project, Duct Tape Isn’t Enough is an essential resource for trainers, educators, and others searching for the powerful secrets of adapting to adversity.
