Summary
While most of the chapters focus on a single resilience factor, many of the people we interviewed used more than one factor while coping with very challenging situations in their lives. You will see several examples of activities that combine many resilience factors, including volunteerism, athletic competition, and having a “survivor mission.” You will also hear compelling examples of resilience in parenting and organizational leadership, including insights that came out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Toward the end of the chapter we give the following advice: in training yourself or others to be resilient, start small and build on successes.
