Publisher's Synopsis
There is a glaring misunderstanding of resilience. It involves so much more than just getting back up and starting where you left off. Real resilient "doing" enables us to grow from the inevitable obstacles in life and improve upon our previous state.Successful resilience is characterized by five key behaviors: connection, generosity (both gratitude and generosity), productive perseverance, vulnerability, and possibility. Above all, resilient people are created, not born. They overcome obstacles head-on and respond positively to setbacks.
The book teaches us how to cultivate resilience techniques in our own lives, as adults, as parents, and in various organizational contexts-in a way that enables us to be strengthened rather than weakened by our experiences.
