ABOUT CALM WITHIN THE STORM

An inspiring new voice in resiliency, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe believes that our modern conception of resiliency as “fighting” or being “tougher” is misguided. Learning happens when we are able to trust and feel safe; fear and shame are barriers, not facilitators, for authentic growth, acceptance, and change. In Calm Within the Storm, Dr. Robyne maps out a kinder approach to taking on the challenges of life and developing authentic self-alignment and balance. By focusing on research-informed, sustainable, and achievable personal development practices, Dr. Robyne presents a new, attainable model for everyday resiliency – one that everyone can use to feel more grounded and capable. She identifies the obstacles that derail us and keep us stuck, and shows us how to enact our resiliency through stories, research, and practical strategies.

Calm Within the Storm

… as the anthem of the under-dog! I have braided personal story, research, and practical applications to create a book that tackles complex ideas in a manner that is accessible for everyone. I believe the world needs a wee bit of a comeback story right now, and a map to create their own! This is not a book about resiliency for resiliency’s sake. It is a practical not a radical approach to resiliency that welcomes people exactly where they are and takes them where they want to go. My goal was to share what I have come upon in 20 years of research and teaching to help people navigate the ebbs and flows of life. I want people to finally take themselves out of the never-ending race of trying to carry the weight of the world on their own. I want to help people quiet the noise of comparison and conquering and live with a deep conviction that they can do hard things, and that all will be well.

"It explored resiliency in ways that I haven’t seen before, which I think is really important. I really liked the messaging that ‘life is hard. But we do hard things all the time. We can do this."
Erica
"This book is one of the best straight-forward books on resiliency I've ever read. Robin not only tells the reader plainly with no double-speak but also incorporates her own story in the telling as well. Because of her book I've also looked up her videos on youtube and have found them extremely helpful. For anyone who needs help going down the road, I highly recommend reading this book."
Janet
"Informative book, interlaced with personal stories and helpful information. I had wished the writing was longer to provide greater detail of the "how to" in building resiliency. I will definitely read this again. I will come back to this review to add more information in the days to come."
Andy
"I loved this audiobook so much I’ve decided it’s one that I also need to get in hard copy. Dr. Robyn is an incredibly strong smart kind woman and great storyteller. Listening to her narrate her own book and stories brought me joy, peace, tears and laughter as I could feel what she was describing. Absolutely amazing!"
