This book is about the art of resilience, the ability to recover quickly from setbacks. Resilience helps us to empower ourselves and others; enhance our ability to live fully; manage emotions; communicate effectively in challenging situations; expand personal influence; and increase our creativity.

THE PATH TO RESILIENCE
We lost our resilience while growing up and have learned ways to mask our authenticity with the perception of who we think we are. The sum total quality of who we are is far greater than the perception we have of ourselves. It is not important how we lost our resilience, what is important is how to bring it back to full force.

Resilience unfolds each time we encounter resistance and are willing and open to learn from the discomfort that accompanies the struggle. Our first reaction is to run away from it, suppress it, play the victim or fight it or blow it out of proportion. Any way we choose to react entangles our mind in ordinary or limited ways of thinking. To break the chains of ordinary existence, we must face the limitations with courage, discipline, persistence & practice.

This book is a map that takes you from resistance to resilience. The journey begins by taking the courage to learn from resistance, reframing patterns to create possibilities, bringing presence and playfulness to life and letting go to live fully.

The Art of Resilience is a practical guide to recover from setbacks through awareness, openness, optimism and courage. Resilience is about artfully combining the power of feelings, critical thinking, and the will to take significant actions for reaching great possibilities.
