If you feel like parenting a teenager has become an impossible tightrope walk, you’re not alone. Today’s adolescents are navigating a world of relentless digital stimulation, academic pressure, and a curated social media landscape that breeds isolation. The result? Anxiety is no longer an exception; it’s the norm.

In her groundbreaking new book, Resilience Decoded, Dr. Sujata Kelkar Shetty reframes this modern crisis not as a problem to be solved, but as a reality to be mastered. A former NIH stress researcher and a master coach, Dr. Shetty delivers a paradigm-shifting message: Your teen’s brain isn’t broken—it’s a high-performance engine in need of a skilled co-pilot.

Forget blaming technology or longing for simpler times. Resilience Decoded provides a practical roadmap for the world we actually live in. Dr. Shetty masterfully translates cutting-edge neuroscience into actionable insights, helping parents understand the “why” behind their teen’s impulsivity, emotional withdrawal, and digital burnout.

But this book’s most revolutionary idea is where the journey begins: with you.

Resilience Decoded argues that a parent’s regulated nervous system is the most critical tool in the household. Through burnout checklists and self-assessment tools, Dr. Shetty empowers parents to first anchor themselves. Because a calm, resilient parent is the ultimate catalyst for a calm, resilient teen.

This is not a lecture; it’s a lifeline. It offers the vocabulary for what your child cannot verbalize and the tools to meet them where they are—not where you wish they’d be. Dr. Shetty reminds us that true resilience isn’t about bouncing back to where you were. It’s about building the strength to navigate breakdowns, doubts, and digital chaos, and forging a path forward into genuine creativity and self-belief.

Resilience Decoded is the essential operating manual for modern parenting, proving that connection is still possible, even in the digital age. It can be bought here.
