The Resilience Mindset: How Adversity Can Strengthen Individuals, Teams, and Leaders

An actionable framework to overcome adversity and create a more fulfilling life.

"Finally, a book that provides practical guidance for business professionals and everyday people to find greater success and purpose despite daily challenges." -- Grant Riggs, CEO, Riggs Distributing

Adversity can deliver a blow to our emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health, eroding our self-confidence and self-esteem. 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.

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. Offering more than just inspiration, The Resilience Mindset 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.
