The Resilience Advantage: Stop Managing Stress and Find Your Resilience

For 70 years, psychologists, wellness experts, and physicians have been teaching people that they can manage the stress in their lives. They have been wrong. Over the past 15 years, there has been a revolution in how business, communities, and governments around the globe address challenge and adversity.

    It is refreshing to see two experts debunk stress “management” and present us with a more positive approach to personal and career stressors in the form of “resilience.” The authors’ comparison to teaching a child how to ride a bike, hit home with me: “We need to allow our kids to fall and fail and recover, so that they can grow into adults who can fall and fail and be resilient.” I learned how to ride a bike; I should be one of those resilient adults. Although I am a self-employed journalist/writer and not in a day-to-day corporate environment, there’s plenty of stress in the changing face of publishing. Instead of coping, the authors advise being mindful and flexible, and they give specifics in how to Prepare for life events, Navigate, and Bounce Back. Adopting the attitude of “not just bouncing back but also streaming forward” makes so much sense, one wonders why this advice hasn’t been the norm. I plan to use The Resilience Advantage to my own advantage. By the way, the book is not only helpful, it’s a good read too.

    Anyone who has ever been stressed should read this book. It has real life examples including dealing with airline employees of 911. More than that, it analyzes how we react to situations that are stressful, how to de-stress, and build resilience. You can improve your life with this book by building your resilience every day. Very practical and a must-read!

    The author’s impressive knowledge and depth of experience, is obvious throughout the book. A tremendous help when we are all confronted by our “black swan” experiences, getting through them, and moving forward. Greatly appreciated.
