While resilience is innate in the brain, our capacity for it can be impaired by our conditioning. Unhelpful patterns of response are learned over time and can become fixed in our neural circuitry. What neuroscience now shows is that what previously seemed hardwired can be rewired.

The Resilient Learner: Thriving and Succeeding in College is a groundbreaking book that defines a new framework to help students improve psychological and emotional resilience, enhance learning and academic performance, and improve quality of life to increase the likelihood of success in all areas of academic, emotional, and social life. This book is about coaching students in academic resiliency, which is the capacity to overcome, adapt, and learn from setbacks, failures, and adversity. It prepares students psychologically and emotionally for the demands they will face in school and in their personal lives (including mental and emotional problems) to succeed academically. Dr. Aubrey postulates six areas of academic resiliency to help students develop a fortitude for success. Students will develop positive habits of mind such as flexible thinking, optimism, growth mindset, and grit (perseverance and passion). These skills include the ability to self-regulate the body's defense systems, intense emotions, thoughts, and self-defeating behaviors that throw students off course and derail their success. Students will also learn the skilled ability to control impulses through the practice of mindfulness to enhance academic performance. They will learn to use the skills of causal analysis and critical thinking to identify the true cause of problems and avoid repeating the same mistakes.Academic resiliency improves the quality of learning by supporting an enhanced culture of wellness and by fostering skills needed to shift into a physiological state of safety, support, and connection to promote optimal learning in the classroom. This proactive educational training approach in resiliency can contribute to increased persistence, perseverance, and completion rates. Thus, you're invited on a journey to a future where you will thrive and flourish as a student. Get ready to take your life from one of stress to one of greater success.

Building resilience -- the ability to bounce back more quickly and effectively -- is an urgent social and economic issue. Our interconnected world is susceptible to sudden and dramatic shocks and stresses: a cyber-attack, a new strain of virus, a structural failure, a violent storm, a civil disturbance, an economic blow. Through an astonishing range of stories, Judith Rodin shows how people, organizations, businesses, communities, and cities have developed resilience in the face of otherwise catastrophic challenges: Medellin, Colombia, was once the drug and murder capital of South America. Now it's host to international conferences and an emerging vacation destination. Tulsa, Oklahoma, cracked the code of rapid urban development in a floodplain. Airbnb, Toyota, Ikea, Coca-Cola, and other companies have realized the value of reducing vulnerabilities and potential threats to customers, employees, and their bottom line. In the Mau Forest of Kenya, bottom-up solutions are critical for dealing with climate change, environmental degradation, and displacement of locals. Following Superstorm Sandy, the Rockaway Surf Club in New York played a vital role in distributing emergency supplies. As we grow more adept at managing disruption and more skilled at resilience-building, Rodin reveals how we are able to create and take advantage of new economic and social opportunities that offer us the capacity to recover after catastrophes and grow strong in times of relative calm.
