'This is a truly refreshing captivating and important book that shifted my perception on a
topic I thought I knew! A must read.' Steven Bartlett entrepreneur and host of 'The Diary of a
CEO' Resilience is the buzzword of the moment. We're told that if we have it our lives will be
happy and successful ones. If we don't we need to acquire it. But what if the version of
resilience we've been peddled is a myth? Here Sunday Times bestselling author Bruce Daisley
demolishes a concept that has spawned a multi-million pound resilience industry of books
workshops and courses exposing the highly questionable science it rests on. In its place he
outlines a very different approach to good mental health that embraces the latest science and
research. Offering empirically tested advice Fortitude sets out a practical path to greater
self-confidence and courage for us all. '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
