A new book by Robert Hall, an independent consultant on resilience and previous Director of Strategy at Resilience First, has been published. ‘Building Resilient Futures’ looks at what resilience means at times of crises as well as the in-between periods.
The book’s synopsis reads as follows (verbatim):
Whether a community struggling to keep its members buoyant, a business trying to stay solvent, or a nation fighting to protect its citizens, adversity and crisis impact us all. The resilient are able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and not only bounce back but also bounce forward.
This book looks at what resilience means at times of crises as well as the in-between periods. It examines the various types of resilience, such as emotional, organisational and societal, and offers valuable insights on how to manage the consequences of upheaval and trauma.
The author brings together contributors to deliver a real mix of theory, case-study evidence and anecdote in a way that is both approachable and thought provoking. It is a timely and necessary addition to a crucial topic. Very simply, professionals, practitioners, students, government ministers, and business leaders should read this now. It might be a safer, better world if people read the book and acted on it.
Building Resilient Futures is available here at the price of £16.99.
