A workbook to turn challenging times into a springboard for healing and new beginnings.

The trauma, loss, and uncertainty of our world have led many of us to ask life's big questions.

Who are we?

What is our higher purpose?

And how do we not only live through but thrive in the wake of tragedy, division, and challenges to our fundamental way of living?

Choose Growth is a practical workbook designed to guide you on a journey of committing to growth and the pursuit of self-actualization every day. Created by renowned psychologist and host of The Psychology Podcast Scott Barry Kaufman and positive medicine physician and researcher Jordyn Feingold, this is an evidence-based toolkit-a compendium of exercises intimately grounded in the latest research in positive psychology and the core principles of humanistic psychology that help us all navigate whatever choppy waters we find ourselves in.

Topics include fostering secure attachment, setting healthy boundaries, cultivating a growth mindset, practicing radical self-acceptance, and more - and each exercise is grounded in the latest research from the fields of psychology and positive medicine.

Whether you're healing from loss, adapting to the new normal, or simply looking ahead to life's next chapter, this supportive and insightful guide will help you steer yourself to calmer waters - and deeper connection to your values, your life vision, and ultimately your most authentic self.

Reviews for Choose Growth: A Workbook for Transcending Trauma, Fear, and Self-Doubt

Praise for Transcend by Scott Barry Kaufman: What a masterpiece! Maslow 2.0-a must-read for anyone who wants to understand what Maslow meant by self-transcendence. Part biography, part treatise, part how-to guide . . . I loved it! * Angela Duckworth, professor of psychology, University of Pennsylvania; CEO and founder of Character Lab; and 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Grit' * This is the book we've all been waiting for - nothing less than a breathtaking new psychology of humanity. Kaufman will show you how to live your life to the fullest, and in the service of others - all at the same time. * Susan Cain, 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Quiet' * The concept of self-actualization and the transcendent values, which include justice, beauty, meaningfulness, and wholeness, provide a blueprint for a better world. This very well-written volume not only captures Maslow's work but infuses it with the spirit of inspiration. This book is a major advance in psychology. * Aaron T. Beck, M.D., professor emeritus of psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania * Both personal and universal, deep and engaging, easy to follow and mind-shifting, Transcend gives us a new understanding of Maslow's famous self-actualization model and shows us how we can all achieve the kind of life we aspire to. * Lori Gottlieb, 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Maybe You Should Talk to Someone' *
