E-Books →The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People Why Some Flourish When Others Fold

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 succeedwhile 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 mannerthat allows us tobe enhanced byour experiences, not diminished.
