Ideaspark on Resilience

Helen Keller said that "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it". And this is where our resilience helps us come through tough times. Michael Neenan (2018) defines Resilience as 'marshalling your resources (psychological, spiritual, social) to cope adaptively with tough times, however long they last, and emerging from them sometimes a stronger, wiser and more capable person.'

Here are a couple of resources on resilience that you may find interesting.
