From Setbacks to Success: Amy Shoenthal’s ‘The Setback Cycle’

Amy Shoenthal, a successful New York-based author, has just released her latest book “The Setback Cycle”. Written over three years, the self-help book offers guidance on turning setbacks into opportunities. As someone who has faced her own share of setbacks in her career after returning from maternity leave, Shoenthal drew inspiration from her experiences and interviewed successful women to understand how setbacks can lead to new opportunities.

Through interviews with scholars, psychologists, neuroscientists, and executive coaches, Shoenthal delved into the science behind setbacks and discovered that many people do not realize they are experiencing a setback until years later. However, she found that these moments of adversity often paved the way for their biggest business ideas, boldest innovations, and most creative ventures.

Shoenthal’s book provides practical advice on identifying setbacks and emerging stronger than ever. She shares stories of resilient women leaders who have overcome setbacks and offers insights into how to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Her decision to release the book during Women’s History Month was intentional as it is filled with inspiring tales of women who have persevered through adversity.

Regardless of gender, readers will be motivated by Shoenthal’s message of resilience and reinvention. Her book provides a roadmap for turning setbacks into victories and encourages readers to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.
