We're
endlessly being told that if we want to be successful in life we have to be
tough and stubborn. If we struggle, it's because we're weak and uncertain.
Bruce Daisley thinks this is simply untrue, and in his new book the Sunday
Times bestselling author of The Joy of Work takes the notion of resilience
apart, explains how it really works, and puts forward a new programme for
building self-confidence and tenacity. He calls it Fortitude.
In this
book, Daisley disproves the myth that only extraordinary people are successful,
shows how to achieve a sense of control through simple mind exercises, and,
above all, demonstrates how we can draw on those around us to empower ourselves
and build our inner-strength. Offering empirically tested advice, Fortitude
sets out a practical path to greater self-confidence and courage, not just for
the elite few, but for us all.
'A
fascinating and important pushback against the narrow, joy-eroding version of
"resilience" that would leave us to sink or swim alone, Fortitude is
an indispensable guide to a more energising, human, and effective approach to
working and thriving in a post-pandemic world.' Oliver Burkeman, author of Four
Thousand Weeks
'Surprising
and challenging. Fortitude encouraged me to re-think not only my work but how I
live my life.' Sarah Ellis, co-author of The Squiggly Career
'Something I
never knew I needed to read but I'm so glad I did, its opened up a whole angle
of thinking.' Nadiya Hussain
'A
fascinating analysis of resilience - what it is, what is isn't and why, when we
develop it together, it becomes something better and more important, fortitude.
It seems that resilience is a team game.' Alastair Campbell
