Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
We're endlessly being told that if we want to be successful in life we have to be tough and stubborn. If we struggle, it's because we're weak and uncertain. Bruce Daisley thinks this is simply untrue, and in his new book the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Joy of Work takes the notion of resilience apart, explains how it really works, and puts forward a new programme for building self-confidence and tenacity. He calls it Fortitude.
In this book, Daisley disproves the myth that only extraordinary people are successful, shows how to achieve a sense of control through simple mind exercises, and, above all, demonstrates how we can draw on those around us to empower ourselves and build our inner-strength. Offering empirically tested advice, Fortitude sets out a practical path to greater self-confidence and courage, not just for the elite few, but for us all.

Really thought provoking
Although some echoes of previous management models about employee engagement, things like the SCARF model which talk about the need for identify etc too, I found the case studies and scientific aspect of this really interesting. Bruce talks about being careful regarding data correlation v cause, but feel he falls into the causation trap a couple of times in the latter chapters. Overall a really good read on the topic of resilience.

Brilliant new perspectives on resilience
Debunks myths, explains old and new research and nicely read by the author - who I’ve seen and heard live at a conference. Impressive speaker, ferociously bright and I’m envious of his memory!
100% worth a listen or read the book

Thought provoking
Such an interesting collection of case studies that were easy to resonate with but surprising in equal measure. I also enjoyed the critique of modern psychology that appears to have just become received wisdom at this point but is probably widely missing the mark. It’s certainly inspired me to take some of the advice to heart - and also be more introspective about early trauma. Also well read by Bruce, who has a comforting and friendly voice. Thoroughly recommend.
