In her early 20’s Amy experienced grave loss - both her mother and her husband passed only a few years apart. In 2013, during one of my lowest points in her life, Amy wrote a letter to herself about all the things mentally strong people don’t do. When she was done, she had a list of 13 things that could rob her of mental strength if she let them. She has written 4 books, including,13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don’t Do, 13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don’t Do, and 13 Things Strong Kids Do. Amy is also editor and chief at Verywell Mind, an award-winning resource for reliable, compassionate, and up-to-date information on mental health topics.</p><p>📕 Ryan Holiday's new book "<a href="https://dailystoic.com/preorder" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Discipline Is Destiny</a>" is out now!
