The Limits of Resilience: When to Persevere, When to Change, and When to Quit In an era marked by anxiety, depression, and ecological and economic uncertainty, resilience has become a buzzword. However, is our insistence on persevering always in our long-term interest? Michael Ungar, a leading resilience expert, argues that true resilience lies not in always bouncing back, but in our ability to self-disrupt and embrace occasional but much-needed failure. Ungar explores how even the most resilient individuals and organizations can fail catastrophically, citing examples of overly optimistic thinking habits and risk-averse decisions. He presents a witty and compassionate argument that challenges the conventional wisdom on resilience, offering a fresh perspective on how to navigate the complexities of modern life. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of resilience, encouraging readers to re-evaluate their approach to challenges and consider the value of embracing failure as a means of growth and development.
