We all face adversity in our lives from time to time and knowing how to deal with those troubling episodes without letting them overwhelm us is the key to being happy, positive and, above all, successful. Courage and resilience are the basis for all of this.

Courage means that you have the strength to face whatever comes your way and overcome it, even when it is difficult. Courage and resilience are closely related, and when you have the right balance of both, you can bounce back even after suffering a major defeat, loss, or tragedy.

In this book, we've looked at why grit, resilience, and the growth mindset they produce are so important to overcoming adversity and learning to thrive in the face of life's challenges. We have also looked at the fact that grit and resilience are not something you are born with, but something you can develop, enhance and hone to become even stronger and more capable of coping, even when the going gets tough.
