In his new book, 10 Rules for Resilience Spartan Race founder & CEO, Joe De Sena, outlines his 10 principles for building True Resilience—a term he uses for a body and mind that have been carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure.
Resilience helps us approach overwhelming situations with confidence, allowing us to stay calm and even embrace setbacks. In this book, Joe partners with Dr. Lara Pence, clinical psychologist & Chief Mind Doc at Spartan, to define the difference between what is difficult and what is desperate.
10 Rules for Resilience teaches how to parent from the position of True Resilience and change your family’s life, including techniques such as:
• A framework for living, being, and parenting that will prepare you and your family for anything.
• Proven techniques derived from clinical research and experience to set the whole family up for better, more effective coping skills.
• Family activities that supplement each rule of resilience and help you put the reading material into real-life action.
• A robust values exercise to help your family create a solid vision statement.
• A five-step model to increase your fear IQ.
I had a chance to read the book, and while I didn't feel like a lot of it applied to me, it's because our family is already doing a lot of the things in the book, and have a system that works for us in terms of coping with setbacks and teaching resilience. However, this book is great for families that may be struggling with this, especially with all of the unique challenges from the past few years. It's well-written with an engaging tone, and is a great book for those who are looking to learn more.
