We all want to be more resilient, to bounce back during times of stress and upheaval. But is resilience just about bouncing back to who we were before we experienced adversity, or is it more? On this episode of DMC, Rivki and Alex sit down with Professor Leslie Gutman, who recently published Resilience: A Jewish Guide to Facing Adversity, Fostering Strength and Living your Best Life, who shares some fascinating insights and helpful tools to help us grow our grit when (and before) the going gets tough.
On this episode we discuss:
- What resilience is, and what it is not
- How we can boost our resilience
- What is spiritual resilience and why it’s important
- Being resilient in face of public vs. private nisyonos
By the end of today’s episode, we hope you’ve gained tools to help you build and maintain resilience during the stages and moments of our life when we’re feeling we’re merely treading water, or even sinking.
We’d love to hear from you. You can find us on social media, or email us at dmc@meaningfulminute.org.
