Help Your Whole Family Thrive
Parenting is hard. Being married is hard. Having aging parents is hard. But all three together can feel impossible.
The Resilience Academy helps you handle it all with greater clarity, calm, and connection. You’ll get practical tools that shift the way you show up — as a parent, partner, son, daughter, and human being.
Try it for free and see what’s possible.
What Makes This Approach Different?
Resilience requires a fundamentally different perspective on adversity.
1.
Learn the truth about stress and resilience
Stress doesn’t come from your circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about your circumstances — especially your thoughts about your family.
So resilience isn’t about being tough. It’s about being clear-headed. When you see your family challenges from a different perspective, everything begins to shift.
But that shift takes more than positive thinking or letting go. You need a fundamentally different way of handling adversity — what we call crucibles.
Crucibles are adverse experiences that make or break us in life
2.
Leverage the power of crucibles
Crucibles are challenges that can break you down — or forge something stronger.
Our process helps you come through them with greater clarity, calm, and understanding. That internal shift becomes the fuel for external family change.
You’ll learn how to transform the crucibles in your life — not just once, but whenever they arise.

“I needed practical tactics for changing my behavior. I turned to Andy Bernstein. How was insight different from just understanding something on an intellectual level? I would soon find out…”
Samantha Dunn in “O: The Oprah Magazine”
Andy Bernstein’s story
What I Thought I Knew — and What I Know Now
Before I had kids, I thought I had life figured out. My marriage was great. I ate and slept well. I loved my job — teaching people a new way to deal with challenges.
I taught these tools to executives, nonprofits, parents — more than 50,000 people over two decades.
Sometimes, those people would say, “Andy, do you have kids?”
“Not yet,” I’d reply. “But this process works for anything.”
They would smile politely. But I could see they weren’t convinced.
Now I understand why. I have two young kids — one with special needs — and it’s chaos.
The chaos of kids who don’t listen. A marriage that needs care. Parents who are aging. A job with constant demands. A world on fire.
Statistically, people between 35 and 55 are the least happy because we are pulled in so many directions at once. It’s exhausting.
To survive that chaos, I had to evolve. So I built new tools —expanding beyond stress to cover marriage, parenting, family dynamics, leadership, and social change. I began teaching these in my live workshops.
Then I put it online, so busy people like me could access it anytime. The first course is free — so anyone can try it without risk.
This approach has now helped thousands of parents find calm amidst the chaos. It’s changed my family, and it can change yours.
I hope you’ll check it out.
Sincerely,
Andy Bernstein

FAQ
Is this therapy?
No. Aaron Beck, the founder of CBT, wrote a strong endorsement of Andy’s book (“an outstanding guide”), and CBT therapists have used our worksheet with their patients, but anyone can use this tool to unlock transformational insights in 7 steps.
Can my whole family do this?
Yes. You, your spouse/partner, your siblings, parents, in-laws, and even your kids, if they’re over the age of 13 and are interested. We offer a big family discount on membership, but the first course is free so you can try it without risk.
How long does the course take?
The first course takes around 30 minutes to complete. It’s divided into short audio lessons that you can listen to whenever you have time.
How do I know if this process will work for me?
Everyone is different, but we can say roughly that for every 100 people who try this, 15% find it “life-changing,” 75% find it “enlightening but want more time to test it,” and 10% find it “not for me.” Our goal isn’t to persuade that last 10%. We want to help the 90% thrive — but we can’t predict who that is. The first course is free so you can stay skeptical and try it for yourself.
