<p>There’s no shortage of tools in the resilience toolkit, and yet resilience remains something of a mystery. We still don’t fully understand why some people respond to challenging situations with resilience, or exactly how to prepare for hardship. In his new book, <em>The End of Trauma</em>, resilience researcher George Bonanno, PhD, argues that flexibility is the missing piece. On <em>Road to Resilience</em>, Dr. Bonanno explains how an adaptive response allows us to use the resilience toolkit to maximum effect.<br/><br/>George Bonanno, PhD, is Professor of Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University.<b><br/><br/>Links:</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/gab38/'>Dr. Bonanno’s official bio</a></li><li><a href='https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/george-a-bonanno/the-end-of-trauma/9781541674363/'><em>The End of Trauma</em></a></li><li><a href='https://icahn.mssm.edu/about/departments/psychiatry/clinical/stress-resilience-personal-growth-center'>Mount Sinai Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth</a></li><li><a href='https://icahn.mssm.edu/about/well-being'>The Office of Well-Being and Resilience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai</a></li></ul><p>Road to Resilience brings you stories and insights to help you thrive in a challenging world.
