10 Rules for Resilience

From the New York Times -bestselling author and CEO/founder of Spartan, "essential lessons for any parent, at any stage in the game" (Rich Roll, ultra-endurance athlete and author of Finding Ultra ).

Joe De Sena has spent his life running toward challenge and discomfort. Why? Because how we react to challenging situations defines us and our families. The only tools we have as humans to survive the many peaks and valleys of a full life are preparedness, health, leadership, and most importantly, resilience. Why do so many parents struggle to finish things we start, delay gratification, and protect our health—and why do our kids continue to struggle in every facet of life? Because we haven't showed them a path to resilience, and we haven't fought for it ourselves.

In ten Rules for Resilience, Joe De Sena outlines his ten principles for leading your family to True Resilience, a term he uses for a body and mind that have been carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. It takes True Resilience to approach overwhelming situations with calm and confidence, to not get rattled, anxious, or angry, and even to embrace failure, setbacks, and redirections.
