Summary of Eric Greitens's Resilience

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Resilience is the virtue that allows people to move through hardship and become better. It is the result of putting your shoulder into what’s painful, and it makes the difference between success and failure. #2 We have all experienced pain and hardship, and we have all learned how to become resilient. We do this through practical wisdom, which is embedded in our language, art, literature, philosophy, and history. But in an age of distraction, we’ve lost touch with practical wisdom. #3 To be resilient is not easy, but it is not difficult. It takes constant practice to make yourself more resilient, but it is worth it. To get there, you must choose to live a resilient life. #4 I was fortunate to have learned from great examples of resilience, such as refugees who survived genocide, other Navy SEALs who endured the hardest military training in the world, and wounded veterans who have rebuilt purposeful lives.
