Resilience: The Ability to Rebound from Adversity

The author of The Gratitude Element: A New Look at the Serenity Prayer now takes a deep dive into the concept of resilience - a capacity that is in increasing demand as we face the escalating speed of everyday life, widening cultural and political polarization, environmental threats, and a myriad of other challenges in the world, our communities, and our families. Examining the concept and the factors involved, Mark T. Scannell firmly asserts that the ability to rebound from adversity, difficulty, and defeat is within each of us: and he provides a number of practices for developing the powerful tool and skills of resilience that will enable us to bounce back.
