The Word That Changes Everything Yet
Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, every teenager has to learn to see setbacks as the setup for what’s next. “Setbacks Are Setups” is the warm, honest handbook that helps them get there. Part of The Bounce-Back Series, it’s rooted in what psychologists actually know about resilience — that it’s built, not born. The result is encouragement that actually sticks — turning “Setups” from a slogan into a habit. Each of the twelve bite-sized chapters blends genuine science with a relatable story, a few honest reflection questions, a practical ‘try this week’ challenge, and a line to hold onto — ideal for reading alone or together. Written for real teenagers, not the polished kind, it’s an encouraging companion for anyone 12–16 learning to bounce back — and a gift that quietly says “I believe in you.” The Bounce-Back Series · Ellie Brightwood
