Adversity can deliver a blow to our emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health, eroding our self-confidence and self-esteem. But the human spirit is strong, and we should never underestimate ourselves. In telling his personal story of adversity, Terry Healey provides insight into challenging life events and how he found a way to practice mindful positivity and find purpose, renewed confidence, and success.
Having experienced a harrowing ordeal with a life-threatening cancer that left him with a permanent facial difference at the age of twenty-one, Healey found a way to harness daily inspirations into key turning points that enabled him to create an actionable framework of four key principles to not only manage adversity whenever confronted with it but to learn how to create a better, more fulfilling life - because of it. Healey's four principles are invaluable to individuals and to those leading teams of people.
Coping with adversity is one thing, but thriving is another. To thrive, we must find happiness, success, and purpose by developing ways to build resilience, embrace change, and strengthen our resolve so that we become unstoppable. Each of us has the capacity to incorporate Healey's resilience framework into our daily routines and become more empowered and self-confident.
In addition to Healey's own harrowing story, The Resilience Mindset offers evidence-backed research and stories from others who overcame seemingly insurmountable odds, including paralysis, traumatic brain injury (TBI), severe dyslexia, burn injuries, and other adversities. The Resilience Mindset provides more than inspiration: It provides readers with the tools to build their own survival kits to take on the smallest and biggest obstacles, leading to a more fulfilling life.
