Harden Up!

Harden Up by Felix Economakis

There seems to be a real mismatch between the demands and needs of the real world, and the tools recent generations have been equipped with to face them. To make matters worse, this general decline in resilience is also happening at a time when we need to be more resilient than ever, to deal with the difficult modern challenges facing us today: economic uncertainty; more job competition with less job security; a need for increasing diplomacy as we live shoulder to shoulder among more diverse cultures and customs. We need to harden up and become more resilient and we need to do it now.

  • I have published thousands of books but I loved yours.

    Harden Up was one of the top 10 books I think we have ever published in the last 28 years of our history, the information is good and solid and I enjoyed it
    Group Managing Director Of New Holland Publishers

Resilience is the ability to cope with stress and adversity. Think of your life as a process that churns out an endless variety of problems for you to face. Some are large, some are small, but all make demands on your attention, your energy levels, your mood and your overall wellbeing. In fact, your satisfaction in life largely depends on how you interpret or respond to its demands. I have seen both miserable multi- millionaires, and happy people of very modest means.

Resilience is a quality that will reduce the impact of the challenges you face in your life. The more resilient you are, the quicker you will bounce back from adversity, the better you will cope with life’s problems, and the more energy you will have at the end of the day. Buy Now …
