10 Rules for Resilience

Mental Toughness for Families

10 principles for leading your family to True Resilience, from the bestselling author of Spartan Up and the CEO/founder of Spartan

Joe De Sena has spent his life running toward challenge and discomfort. Why? Because how we react to challenging situations defines us and our families. The only tools we have as humans to survive the many peaks and valleys of a full life are preparedness, health, leadership, and most importantly, resilience. Why do so many parents struggle to finish things we start, delay gratification, and protect our health—and why do our kids continue to struggle in every facet of life? Because we haven’t showed them a path to resilience, and we haven’t fought for it ourselves.

In 10 Rules for Resilience Joe De Sena outlines his 10 principles for leading your family to True Resilience, a term he uses for a body and mind that have been carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. It takes True Resilience to approach overwhelming situations with calm and confidence, to not get rattled, anxious, or angry, and even to embrace failure, setbacks, and redirections.

Kick Ass Message

Joe hit so many key points in family dynamics that everyone could benefit from hearing the views mentioned. Not just adults but teenagers as well. At the beginning of the book, some things he said about kids now-a-days made me chuckle(laugh) which is hard to do when reading a book for me. Ya, Joe, you got me! Ha ha.
I’m a self-driven individual who loves a challenge and will take on almost anything, but Joe suggested some areas on the home front where I was lacking but my wife was not. That hit me hard because I thought I was thinking the correct path. 🤷‍♂️ Joe made me think more about each decision I have to better push myself in ways I didn’t think I needed to work on.

Hope this motivates someone else to give this book a listen or read to see what they might find out about themselves.

Thanks Joe.

To the Point... no fluff, just good solid advice.

Joe gets right to the good stuff with action items and sound, timeless advice for kids... But also adults.
