Book Review: THE RESILIENCE ROADMAP

THE RESILIENCE ROADMAP - The 7 Guideposts for Charting Your Course in a Chaotic World, by Mark Blac, is a detailed action plan for facing challenges in life. Resilience is most critical, the book says, a skill that make us not only survive life’s challenges, but also thrive through them. Like, how, the trials of infancy and childhood served to prepare the author well for what would happen in adolescence and adulthood. 

This is also a guide to becoming more resilient. Seven simple, though not easy steps hide the principles and strategies that will help one thrive in the face of whatever adversity, one may meet. Attributes that leads to resilience, like adaptation, acceptance, and commitment are examined. So also, the ones that can make resilience stay, like focus, action, patience, and perseverance.

I enjoyed the book. This is almost a mathematical analysis of resilience and its factors, while helping us build our capacity to handle whatever may come our way. This book has all the tools, one will need to handle everything that may ever happen. Practical and insightful suggestions and subtly placed anecdotes make this book a treasure to have and a pleasure to read.
