Life is hard. Rocketing rates of physical and mental health issues are testimony to the immense pressures of our complex world. So how do we become tough and adaptable to face life's challenges?
The Resilience Shield provides that defence. In their groundbreaking guide to overcoming adversity, Australian SAS veterans Dr Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk DSC and Tim Curtis take you behind the scenes of special operations missions, into the boardrooms of leading companies and through the depths of contemporary research in order to demystify and define resilience. Through lessons learned in and out of uniform, they've come to understand the critical components of resilience and how it can be developed in anyone - including you.

Well written, well researched, and practical. Awesome tone.
I wondered about this book, and was hesitant as many US books from Navy Seal types are hard to get through.
This was incredibly well-researched, deep, and practical. It’s incredibly sharp, but has a wonderful disarming tone and style.
It considers the idea of human resilience in a holistic, integrative way, from physical well-being or emotional well-being. For each “layer,” or component of resilience, they gave incredibly practical advice. Advice that is grounded in practice, research, and their own training.
I found this to be one of the better books I have read on resilience—one that avoids “tough guy” tropes (it doesn’t need them). The content and mastery of the material speaks for itself, and is approachable to anyone wanting to improve their well-being and performance.

This book was definitely needed. came at the right time for me. helped to build my resilience shield when it was pretty much spent.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in resilience or suffering stresses in their life that they're struggling with.
