Three years ago my sister wrote a book called "Prosilience: Building Your Resilience for a Turbulent World." This was a continuation of her work in the Resilience field. To celebrate the anniversary she is offering a free download of the Kindle version from April 22-26.
Here is the link to the Amazon page.
Although primarily used in a business setting, there are great lessons in here for personal strategies.
Here's the full self-promotion:
Resilience is about how you respond to challenges. Prosilience is about how you intentionally prepare yourself to deal with them. Everyone encounters challenges in life. While some can be energizing and exciting, others are difficult and draining. You can learn to overcome adversity by understanding the elements of resilience and deliberately practicing them. Bringing together insights from a wide range of fields including psychology, neuroscience, physiology, and spirituality, Prosilience: Building Your Resilience for a Turbulent World helps you assess your readiness for challenge and design a plan to become even stronger.
You will learn:
* How to assess a challenge so you can better prepare to deal with it
* The importance of paying attention to “micro-challenges”
* Why calming down is the first step to a resilient response—and how to do it
* Three strategies for dealing with challenges—and how to select the best one
* Seven resilience muscles that help you solve problems—and exercises to strengthen them
* Four kinds of energy that power your resilience—and how to build and replenish them
* Tools and exercises for building your Prosilience Plan
