Nedd Brockmann isn’t afraid to dream big.

He wasn’t chasing fame or public recognition. He just wanted to test his limits and raise a million dollars for homelessness in the process.

You cannot bounce back from hardship. You can only move through it. There is a path through pain to wisdom, through suffering to strength, and through fear to courage if we have the virtue of resilience. In 2012, Eric Greitens unexpectedly heard from a former SEAL comrade, a brother-in-arms he hadn’t seen in a decade. Zach Walker had been one of the toughest of the tough. But ever since he returned home from war to his young family in a small logging town, he’d been struggling. Without a sense of purpose, plagued by PTSD, and masking his pain with heavy drinking, he needed help. Zach and Eric started writing and talking nearly every day, as Eric set down his thoughts on what it takes to build resilience in our lives.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Editorial reviews
Be inspired by the daring, arduous journeys and death-defying feats of world-renowned adventurer Ross Edgley and build your own resilience to tackle challenges, both great and small.
Ross Edgley is famous for his astounding exploits—running a marathon while pulling a 1.4-tonne car, climbing a rope the height of Everest and becoming the first person in history to swim around Great Britain among them. In The Art of Resilience, he recounts his greatest adventures, drawing you into his world right from the first chapter. Narrating his words himself in this thrilling audiobook, Edgley also lets you in on how he built his mental grit and then drew on it to develop phenomenal physical stamina. In a no-nonsense yet engaging style, Edgley explains how anyone can master the ancient concepts of persistence and stoicism, applying them to everyday life. As the author shows, his approach to mental toughness can help you keep things in perspective, find inner strength and, ultimately, achieve things you never thought possible.
Feel your heart leap in your chest and a sense of quiet determination settle into your soul as you listen to Edgley talk about his daunting feats of endurance. You’ll especially be gripped by his gritty, evocative descriptions of his encounters with giant jellyfish, formidable storms, and more as he shares the story of what became known as the Great British Swim.
Want more nonfiction titles to build your resilience and self-reliance? Listen to Donald Robertson’s audiobook How to Think Like a Roman Emperor or Hugh van Cuylenburg’s The Resilience Project.
Publisher's Summary
Best-selling author and award-winning adventurer Ross Edgley has been studying the art of resilience for years, applying all he has learned to become the first person in history to swim all the way round Great Britain, breaking multiple world records along the way. Now, Ross turns his attention to mental strength and Stoicism.
Ross Edgley famously ran a marathon pulling a 1.4-tonne car and climbed a rope the height of Everest (8,848 m), after living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and partaking in Shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. On his epic 1,780-mile journey around Great Britain, which lasted 157 days, Ross swam through giant jellyfish, arctic storms, ‘haunted’ whirlpools and polluted shipping lanes, going so hard, and so fast, his tongue fell apart.
Ross’ previous book, The World’s Fittest Book, was a Sunday Times number one best seller and explored the science of physical fitness. Now, in The Art of Resilience, Ross uses his swim experience and other amazing endurance feats, where he managed to overcome seemingly insurmountable pain, hardship and adversity, to study the performance of extreme athletes, military and fitness specialists and psychologists to uncover the secrets of mental fitness and explore the concept of resilience, persistence, valour and a disciplined mind-set in overcoming adversity. This groundbreaking work represents a paradigm shift in what we thought the human body and mind were capable of and will give you a blueprint to become a tougher, more resilient and ultimately better human - whatever the challenge you face.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

Fascinating insight and a warm bellied enjoyment!
I was fixed on Ross’s story from the firsts moments. Full of detail and understanding, with great examples and real life experiences, collected over years of research, training and travelling the globe.
The two most valuable lessons learnt during this book:
Number 1: Strength builds Stamina and Stamina builds Strength.
Number 2: My training plans now follows 4 principles for specificity when conducting strength training;
- Speed of movement
- Strength of movement
- Range of movement
- Capacity of movement
