#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.

Highly recommended

This is an amazing book that is so much more than a list of steps or actions that others take to be resilient. I found myself stopping the audiobook (Dr. Stejskal's voice is delightful and comforting at the same time) and taking notes. Nuggets of wisdom that I want to read as reminders before I start my day or when times get tough. Don't get me wrong, there is a whole list of things to do to be more resilient; but that is only part of the book. I absolutely love this book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to do better and be better.

An invitation for understanding your inner resilience!

This book is a vital read for anyone looking to find inner strength and understand on how to navigate pivotal moments in life. It’s accessible and lights a spark on how to handle adversity in life. She gives practical steps and her own real life stories. What a gift!

Great read - new lens on resilience

Dr. Taryn Marie recasts the story of resilience beginning with teaching us that resilience is something that exists within all of us, sow
Thing we already are, not something we have to go out and find, it’s a natural part of our human essence.

same book different author

No epiphany here! same book different author, its more about how great she thinks she is which is fine if thats what the book was supposed to be about. The author read 5 other books took the message and wrote this book. She talked about her “ trauma” but I felt like she was“mansplaining” me as she talked about women power. I am sure she is a very nice person but I personally didn’t like her writing style or her coping of other books to make her book..
