Before Sharni Layton became an All-Australian AFLW star, she was a gun netballer. By 2017, she had been named ANZ Championship Player of the Year, was captain of the Diamonds and had won Commonwealth Games Gold along with two World Cups for Australia.

Her confidence was shot and a career's worth of suppressed anxiety finally boiled over, leading to full-blown burnout. No Apologies is a candid, inspiring and hilarious account of how one woman bounced back from rock bottom - and gave herself permission to fly.

Deseori, părinții se simt copleșiți de emoții atunci când copiii lor suferă de anxietate. Însă nu știu cât de mult îi pot ajuta de fapt. Tocmai de aceea au decis Michael Grose și Jodi Richardson să scrie această carte – pentru a-i încuraja să dobândească o nouă perspectivă asupra anxietății și să folosească orice ocazie pentru a-i învăța pe copii abilitățile necesare gestionării ei. O adevărată epidemie printre copii, anxietatea poate face ravagii. Iar noi o ignorăm, în loc să luăm măsurile necesare pentru a o opri. Autorii prezintă originile și biologia anxietății – cunoștințe-cheie referitoare la cauzele declanșării ei, simptomele fizice asociate și strategiile ce pot fi utilizate pentru a o stăpâni. Părinții și pedagogii vor afla ce pași să urmeze pentru a-i ajuta pe copii să-și dezvolte inteligența emoțională, să tolereze mai bine disconfortul emoțional, să exerseze mindfulnessul și alte tehnici de relaxare, să devină rezilienți și să capete abilități utile. În acest fel, adulții vor reduce impactul negativ al anxietății, ghidându-i pe copii să trăiască o viață împlinită și fericită.
