#1 international resilience expert Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal provides practical tools to effectively address challenges, complexity, and change.
Resilience is categorically misunderstood. It's not merely about bouncing back, and it's so much more than returning to where you began. True resilient "doing" allows us to capitalize on the inescapable challenges of life and become better than we were before.
Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal began working with brain injury patients and found that most popular beliefs about human resilience are incorrect. Since then, for the last 20 years, she has conducted qualitative research on the power of resilience, studying the science behind why some people succeed while others fail. Here, Dr. Taryn Marie outlines the five critical behaviors that define successful resilience: Vulnerability, Productive Perseverance, Connection, Gratiosity (Gratitude and Generosity), and Possibility. Resilient People bounce forward, take an active approach to facing challenges, and most importantly, they are made, not born.
Dr. Taryn Marie's empirically proven framework shows us how to develop resilience practices in our own lives—as adults, as parents, and across organizations—in a manner that allows us to be enhanced by our experiences, not diminished.

      Neuropsychologist and resilience expert Stejskal, founder of the Resilience Leadership Institute, offers a new take on resilience and provides suggestions on how to practice it in daily life. Sharing her personal story as someone living with PTSD and dyslexia, Stejskal delineates five practices of resilience--vulnerability, productive perseverance, connection, "gratiosity" (gratitude plus generosity), and possibility. Along the way, Stejskal delivers key ideas such as "challenges happen, it doesn't mean you're on the wrong path" and "resilient people bounce forward not back." By drawing on real-life examples, Stejskal demonstrates ways in which to practice resilience and grow from one's life experiences. Readers may be encouraged to discover that resilience is learned, not innate; there is always room to learn more. This is an essential book for anyone looking for ways to cope with difficult situations and learn how to become stronger and healthier. VERDICT Containing both insight and practical practices, this is a wonderful resource for anyone seeking help on how to cope with life's challenges. Recommended for fans of Rick Hanson's Resilient: How To Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness.--Jackie Hay
