Resilience: How the COVID-19 Pandemic Made Us Wiser and Stronger (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798749394504)

As the Executive Director of the Resilience Initiative, I have been promoting resilience around the globe for the past two years. I have been writing, listening, interviewing, podcasting, filming, publishing, encouraging, speaking, even doing headstands to raise awareness about resilience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to take stock of ourselves. In the wake of this I decided to gather perspectives about resilience to help identify where we are and to point toward where we might go and who we might become. Since 2020 is a year we can look at two ways, we are better served to look at it in the way that we want to find it. We find what we look for. If we look at the year for how we were dumber and weaker, we can certainly find it. Rather, let's look at how we're stronger and wiser. Let's look at what we have learned and how we can use it. Let's look at where we are going, how we will get there, and what it will look like. Certainly, there is no returning to what was before. There will be echoes and shadows, there will be rhythms and images that seem familiar, but there's no going back. I mean there is no ... going ... back. We must discover and embrace how we are stronger and wiser. I've asked twenty-five people from around the globe, men and women, black and white, young and old for their perspective, their insight and their view of what we've gone through and where it might lead. I hope their words can be a shovel that helps unearth how you are stronger and wiser. Because, as we know, what you look for . . . is what you will find.
