What are some recommended books on this topic?
- jmnicolas 11y agoAs I said earlier I don't think you can learn it in a book. A short read : http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2015/01/grit/ http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2015/01/grit/ ( A Navy SEAL Explains 8 Secrets To Grit And Resilience) A previous ask HN on this topic but it didn't get many comments : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10048402 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10048402
- tonyarkles 11y agoBrene Brown talks about this a fair bit in her work. I apologize for not remembering which specific book of hers I read that touches on this; there's apparently a new one (which I haven't read yet) that covers the topic specifically. If you're curious, check out her two TED talks (in order): "the power of vulnerability" and "the power of shame". I'm pretty sure the second one talks a bit about resilience, and the first one sets up some context. Her books are generally quite excellent as well, and I'll definitely be picking up a copy of Rising Strong to once again complete the library
