About this listen

Life is hard. Rocketing rates of physical and mental health issues are testimony to the immense pressures of our complex world. So how do we become tough and adaptable to face life's challenges?

The Resilience Shield provides that defence. In their groundbreaking guide to overcoming adversity, Australian SAS veterans Dr Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk DSC and Tim Curtis take you behind the scenes of special operations missions, into the boardrooms of leading companies and through the depths of contemporary research in order to demystify and define resilience. Through lessons learned in and out of uniform, they've come to understand the critical components of resilience and how it can be developed in anyone - including you.

The Resilience Shield explores the hard-won resilience secrets of elite soldiers and the latest thinking on mental and physical wellbeing. This book will equip you with an arsenal of practical tools for you to start making immediate improvements in your life that are attainable and sustainable.

Let's build your shield!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I found this book very helpful. I like the way it shows the connect between resilience, success and happiness and how they are all made up from a balance life. This book has made me focus on otherwise neglected areas. The book is also full of stories of the authors own experiences in the Australian SAS that make it hard to put down.

Great book strongly recommend

I really enjoyed this book - the accounts, and raw honesty of the authors. At a practical level the resilience theories make very good sense. This book has helped provide a scientific structure and breakdown of resilience that the average person can modify their lifestyle towards positive results.

For anyone vaguely psychologically minded who is looking to improve their life, I would strongly recommend this to them.

Great book!

After listening to The Resilience Shield twice I have only truly positive things to say about it. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in personal and professional development. It's a very well written and easy to follow book which is hard to put down once you get started. The positive influence this book has had on my own way of thinking has been invaluable. There are some great stories, quotes and advice from a myriad of experiences shared between the authors.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. Through interesting stories and experiences, these blokes challenge the listener to be aware of, and further develop components of what makes up our resilience.

If you know someone in the police, nursing, defence, or any other high stressor type occupation, give them a nudge in the direction of this book. Im greatful to have read it so early in my career.

Highly recommended
