Life's Tough - Be Tougher: Real Tools for Resilience

By David Buttifant and Nick Farr

Built on lived experience and professional expertise, Life's Tough - Be Tougher offers practical, real-world strategies to build resilience in the face of setbacks and explores the impact of physical health, emotional, social and spiritual resilience.

Life is unpredictable and tough times are inevitable, but it's how we respond that defines us. Life's Tough-Be Tougher is a straight-talking guide to building resilience and thriving when hard times hit.

David Buttifant and Nick Farr draw on decades of coaching experience, as well as their own stories of personal loss and challenge, to show that resilience is not innate-it's a skill you can learn. They outline the four pillars that underpin this-Physical, Emotional, Social and Psychological recovery-and provide proven strategies, daily habits and practical exercises you can put into action straight away.

Blending insights from ancient philosophy, behavioral science and their pioneering work with Resilience Builders, Buttifant and Farr offer a roadmap for turning setbacks into growth. More than survival, this book shows you how to thrive, build strength and embrace opportunities from whatever comes your way.
