Chapter Overview

Description

Resilience (2015) encourages us to confront pain and hardship, using them to create meaning and find joy. The author doesn’t promise miracles, since there’s no easy cure for losing a loved one or facing other tragedies. He only promises the effectiveness of hard work, describing how to overcome the fear of failure and take responsibility for your own life. If you can do that, the challenges you face will only make you stronger, wiser and more courageous.

Who Should Listen

  • War veterans and returning soldiers who want to find their purpose in life
  • Anyone who has experienced loss, is struggling through a painful period or fighting self-doubt
  • People hoping to learn how to overcome challenges and lead a more fulfilling life
