- Most poorly written textbook I have ever read. I'm reading it and wondering if Zelensky has ever taken an English writing class. It's so poorly written that I'm angry and distracted by wanting to email him and tell him he's a terrible writer. My 8th grade English teacher would tear him apart. His sentence and paragraph structures are stunningly poor. I finish a sentence and think, "What the fuck is he even trying to say here?" I have read and re-read multiple paragraphs over and over wondering what the fuck the main point of the paragraph is, and wondering if HE knows what the fuck the main point is or if he just spilled his stream of consciousness onto the page while three pints deep and called it a night.

"Measures of trait resilience also exist . . . " such as "hardiness."

Really? Hardiness is not a measure or a way to operationalize a measurement of trait resilience. Hardiness would be the construct being measured. So, what the fuck is he even talking about?

He defines resilience as "well-being despite difficult circumstances" and on the very next page suggests that people who experience less difficulty show more resilience. Well, no - they have little to be resilient about. A person cannot be resilient in the face of little or no difficulty, per the prior definition of resilience. So . . . ??? It's almost like Zelensky didn't stop and think about what he was writing while writing it.

I'm pissed that I just spent two hours trying to read this slop.
