Review "A truly magnificent book that is very readable, highly informative, and hugely helpful for both understanding resilience and planning how best to foster it. Given that resilience is not a unitary trait, it presents quite a challenge to distill the key points from a complicated literature into straightforward messages, but that is exactly what this book does. It skillfully summarizes the main findings from both qualitative and quantitative research and combines all of that with telling case examples. Essential reading for any researcher or clinician interested in resilience."--Michael Rutter, MD, Social, Genetic, and Developmental Psychiatry Centre, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, United Kingdom "Nobody understands resilience as well as Ann Masten, and nobody writes about it as clearly, wisely, and deeply as she does. Dr. Masten is both a creator of new knowledge and a compelling narrator of the science and interventions that address how children manage to thrive in spite of adverse conditions. This indispensable book conveys the many facets of resilience, from neurobiology to cultural context to the importance of supportive relationships. Accessibly written, it makes complex concepts and processes easy to understand and impossible to forget. The book can be used as a text for undergraduate and graduate courses on typical development and developmental psychopathology, as well as in seminars for clinical interns and postdoctoral fellows."--Alicia F. Lieberman, PhD, Irving B. Harris Endowed Chair in Infant Mental Health, University of California, San Francisco "Masten's original studies have been required reading in my course on Comprehensive School Health Programs for the past 15 years. Ordinary Magic synthesizes the author's extraordinary line of research and offers new perspectives on risk, resilience, and protective factors. It's a wonderful addition to my course this semester."--Edward S. Shapiro, PhD, Director, Center for Promoting Research to Practice, and Professor, School Psychology Program, Lehigh University "I consider Masten to be the preeminent thinker on resilience--and one of psychology's very best writers. Few authors possess the theoretical, empirical, clinical, and translational prevention skills to write such an integrative, well-presented volume. Masten makes a critical contribution to understanding the multiple pathways toward resilient outcomes for individuals who have experienced significant adversity. She does an amazing job of integrating literature from a variety of disciplines and levels of analysis. This is by far the best book I have ever read on resilience, and will set the standard for a long time to come."--Dante Cicchetti, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota "Resilience is an invaluable concept for our turbulent times. Masten, a highly esteemed developmental psychologist, has been at the forefront of resilience theory and research for decades. In this beautifully crafted volume, she guides readers through the advances in our knowledge of the multilevel processes--the interactions of neurobiological, psychological, family, and sociocultural influences over time--that enable children and adults to survive and grow stronger from serious life challenges. Essential reading for scholars, students, and mental health professionals who strive to understand and promote positive adaptation in traumatic situations and multistress contexts."--Froma Walsh, PhD, Mose and Sylvia Firestone Professor Emerita and Co-Director, Chicago Center for Family Health, University of Chicago “Ordinary Magic is an extraordinary achievement. Ann Masten has succeeded in integrating, synthesizing, and extending 40 years of resilience research into a compelling and highly readable volume. The book is audacious in scope, with Masten moving easily from genes to culture writ large. It is a ‘must read’ for a broad audience, including mental health practitioners, senior scholars, educators, and students.”--Deborah Lowe Vandell, PhD, Founding Dean, School of Education, University of California, Irvine“Masten's book deserves reading because of its extraordinary synthesis of selected theories and research….Masten has pulled together the wide range of approaches to the concept and its empirical grounding to this date. This has been a difficult task but the result is essentially a truly new 'manual on resilience,' which will last as a guide to further research for at least the next decade.” (PsycCRITIQUES 2015-03-23)“Ann Masten writes in an accessible narrative style while drawing on her vast personal and professional experience as a professor and international resilience expert….An illuminating and useful text for students, researchers, and anyone interested in this field.” (Therapy Today 2015-04-06)“I do so wish that this book had been available before I did my doctorate in resilience studies and when I had been teaching this subject….I continue to be very grateful for resilience research and theorizing as a practitioner and, in particular, for this unique summary and stock take of the discipline that Professor Ann Masten provides. Ordinary Magic will be of very great assistance to postgraduate students, and to beginning researchers, because it details the waves of resilience investigations that have brought us to the present day….In my teaching experience, even postgraduate students can have trouble really understanding the resilience perspective, and they will surely benefit from Masten’s commitment to expressing complex ideas in straightforward language.” (Psychology Aotearoa 2015-05-01)

Instead, it offers an extraordinary synthesis of the vast and complex domain of resilience research, spanning its historical, conceptual, and theoretical foundations, current multi-level pathways, and, as yet, incompletely explored facets. In doing so, it facilitates a deep understanding of the multiple, interacting systems that enable – and constrain – how individuals adjust constructively to challenging circumstances/events, capacitates an understanding of how best to harness such knowledge to champion resilience, and directs future research. Importantly, this book makes mention of the resilience processes of children in majority-world contexts. In doing so, it conveys a more nuanced understanding of how resilience processes are contextually sensitive and cautions against simplistic or stereotypical explanations of resilience. This enhances its value to those of us researching and championing resilience in Global South contexts. Allied to this, if, like I do, you work with students, clinicians, and practitioners whose mother tongue is not English, then please know that part of the ‘magic’ of this book is that it is beautifully written in ways that support epistemological access. In short, this book forms the bedrock of the teaching I do, and is indispensable to my resilience-focused university-community collaborations. I recommend it unconditionally.Linda Theron, Optentia Research Focus Area (www.Optentia.co.za), North-West University, South Africa
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It makes resilience, and resilience research seem too ordinary By Brian D. Cox The author is a justifiably highly regarded leader in the field, and the book is smoothly written, and remarkably jargon free. The book is based on cutting-edge research and cites the latest work. I thought these attributes would make the book perfect for a freshman course that I teach on the resilient child. Unfortunately, it's written from a bird's eye view, so my students were saying things like "It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, " as if one tosses off a 20 year longitudinal study on homeless families every day of the week and then comes up with a sunny happy ending! They entirely missed the point of how much dedication it takes to do the work, in spite of my exhortations to the contrary. The voices of the resilient themselves are also largely missing, except in the 2nd chapter..I will try using this book again, enriching it with more detailed discussions of the research on which it is based (fortunately, we have access to the PsychInfo database). I am happy to know that children can survive all sorts of bad beginnings, literally given half a chance, but it ain't magic, and it certainly ain't ordinary, and neither is the developmental research that brought us this conclusion.
