Resilience can help cope with a volatile and uncertain world. It is not designed to provide solutions to the causes of the shocks and stresses, but rather to establish a baseline from which we can operate, recover, and move forward. In simple terms, it is about surviving and thriving. Yet, resilience, whether professional or personal, requires an appropriate mindset or set of beliefs if it is to be effective. That mindset is shaped by values, attitudes, culture, responsibilities, and experiences which, in turn, mould the way we incorporate new knowledge and how we make sense of the world and ourselves. It influences how we think, feel, and respond in any given situation. This book looks at the resilience mindset by taking a philosophical journey. As we live in a world of constant change, both self-imposed and inflicted, philosophy can help us understand how to cope positively and rise to the inevitable challenges. It is why philosophy down the ages has attracted students who want a deeper appreciation of resilience. Ultimately, it is the resilience of the human spirit that gives hope to human endeavours. Here is a deep dive into the human aspects that lie behind our resilience. It examines topics such as being stoical, facing our fears, realizing our virtues, finding our values, seeking truth and trust, and coping with change. A review of the significant contributions made by philosophers past and present gives insights into the thinking and mindsets of people who have delved into the subject of resilience over the centuries. It all provides valuable lessons for dealing with today s crises and challenges.
