Finalist in the Wellness and Wellbeing Category of the Business Book Awards 2023. Everything you need for strengthening and flexing your resilience muscle!
Resilience can mean something different to everyone, yet it is increasingly necessary to survive in the modern workspace, whether that is at home, in an office or other place of work. Hard times for organisations generally mean harder times for employees, often with increased workloads and reduced resources. Being able to navigate this environment and remain resilient is preferable, but when stress and anxiety take over you need to know how to boost your resilience and look after your own well-being. An essential read for anyone working today, this book focuses on the concept of agile resilience, exploring how resilience can be learned, chosen, developed and adapted to help you cope with the range of circumstances and experiences you may face. It explains what resilience is, including your own personal take on that, what might deplete it, the impact of Covid-19, and how you can maintain or replenish it when necessary in order to thrive in your work and life.

His extensive research into the subject over several years has cemented that belief. In 2015 he wrote a resilience blog post every day for a year, testing his own resilience but affording the opportunity to deep dive into personal resilience and all that it means for people.
