Thrive - The Power Of Resilience (Paperback)

We live in a world that demands perfection. Big data, analytics, trend lines and averages bind us to a set of norms and values that assign a numeric worth to who we are and what we are capable of. Should we not meet established milestones or targets, not conform to the appropriate curve, or fail to live up to pre-established societal expectations, we invariably experience a sense of personal failure, worthlessness and fears and anxiety about a tenuous future. Added to this is the struggle with growing poverty and widening gaps in inequality, fractured family units, chronic stress and mental health challenges overlaid with the uncertainty and complexity of a rapidly changing world.

Yet, in truth it doesn't matter where we come from and what our historic circumstances and achievements might be. We are all capable of extraordinary lives and should not be bound by limitations, whether self-imposed or from external sources. What can unlock our fullest potential is resilience, a consummate skill that can be developed and grown throughout our lives. This reality is echoed by the likes of Albert Einstein, Oprah Winfrey, JK Rowling, Billy Jean King and Siya Kolisi, who all struggled in some way or another and overcame the restraints of their circumstances through resilience in various forms.

In addition, many resilience 'lessons' and how these are applicable to everyday life are taken from a fusion of cutting-edge science and learnings from some of the most recognizable figures in world sport, including Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Martina Navratilova and Novak Djokovic.

Thrive is a resilience manual, a practical, step-by-step guide to help you realise your fullest potential.
