Summary
Every day I watch my farm burn. Day after day, the sky is a relentless, empty blue. As our land dries up, all my hopes have turned to vapour, lost in that wide, blue yonder.
And so begins Doug Avery's story of emotional resilience in the face of what at times seemed a hopeless situation.
The South Island farmer suffered terribly during eight years of drought. His farm was depleted and so was he, to the point of severe depression.
The Resilient Farmer is Doug's powerful example of how to get life back on track. With candour and wisdom, he tells his story of turning desperation into determination, embracing risk, navigating change and, on top of everything, enduring monumental earthquakes.
An inspiring tale of how one man overcame heartbreaking adversity to live a fruitful life and help others.

Everyone in Agriculture should listen to this
An excellent book that has lessons on many levels. Doug is a great communicator so reaches audiences many wouldn't. There are always a few things that go off on a tangent and can be quite opinion based but generally excellent stuff.
Only problem is that for some reason the Audio is really quiet. Don't listen in conjunction with a Sat Nav because when that kicks in at the volume required to hear this book clearly it doesn't do your ears any favours

Absolutely fantastic a true farming hero
The book is brilliant and speaks about a very difficult but important topic in a language that will help it get through to everyone. My only criticism is that the volume on audible is much to low for this book. But great job Doug!
