How Changing Your Thoughts Can Change Your Life
by Dr. Chantrise Sims Holliman
What do you do when life knocks the wind out of you? When your plans fall apart, the unexpected strikes, or your comfort zone disappears completely? In Noah Had an Ark. You Need a R.A.F.T., Dr. Chantrise Sims Holliman offers a candid, often humorous, and deeply personal guide to navigating life’s storms with two essential tools: Resilience and Flexible Thinking.
Written in a bold, relatable voice that blends real talk with research and lived experience, this book is part memoir, part survival manual, and 100% motivation. Drawing on her background as an award-winning educator and her incredible journey of recovery following a life-altering medical crisis that resulted in a bilateral amputation, Dr. Holliman doesn’t just talk about resilience—she lives it.
Through her powerful "Resilience Roadmap" and the engaging S.A.I.L. + W.I.N.D. frameworks for flexible thinking, readers are challenged to:
Practice self-awareness and get honest about their emotions and habits.
Prepare a positive attitude, even in the face of failure or fear.
Prioritize self-care without guilt.
Push out fear, dismantle limiting beliefs, and question "sacred cows."
Interrupt negative self-talk and reframe their inner dialogue.
Learn to take risks, make audibles in life, and “imagineer” bold new solutions.
This is not your typical self-help book. It’s an interactive, reflective, and refreshingly relatable resource, complete with "To-Do Lists" at the end of each chapter to help turn insight into action. Whether you’re facing personal challenges, professional burnout, or just wondering, “Now what?”, this book gives you the tools to bounce back better and move forward stronger.
Noah had an ark. You need a R.A.F.T. Climb aboard. Your next chapter is waiting.
Because I believe good books change lives, whether they lift your spirit, shift your thinking, or spark your next breakthrough.
