From the founder: You Be Resilient Too

InspireWell4Life editions: You Be … Too An introduction by Dr Alten du Plessis, founder of WorkSmart4Life.

You Be Resilient Too is for people at work in demanding seasons: change, pressure, setbacks, or simply a long stretch of hard work.

It draws on research showing that resilience is an ordinary human capacity that anyone can develop. Here you will find wisdom on bouncing back, growing through challenge, leaning on others, finding meaning and keeping hope alive, so that difficulty can become a place of growth.

You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow ten dimensions, among them Adversity Navigation, Emotional Regulation, Growth from Challenge, Social Support, Meaning-Making, Flexible Thinking and Hope and Optimism.

On WorkSmart4Life it is included in the role track Steady Under Pressure and sits on the WorkSmart library shelf. It is also one of the editions The Edge can give as a level reward for practice in Sustain courses, the move about energy and recovery. Each card invites you to reflect on its quotes and choose one that speaks to you today. I suggest you begin with the dimension that fits your season, or simply with the first one, Adversity Navigation.
