Amy Morin

Amy Morin is an American psychotherapist and author whose work on mental strength has reached a massive global audience. Her books, led by 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do and its companion volume 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do, grew from her viral Forbes article, which became the most-read article on Forbes history.

Morin is a licensed clinical social worker, a former therapist who saw dozens of clients, and host of the podcast Mentally Stronger People. Her framework of 13 habits — from avoiding self-pity to refusing to waste energy on what can't be controlled — has been translated into more than fifty languages and is used by parents, athletes and executives alike.
