My company had a lecture about Resilience by Dr. Michael Unger, and I have compiled a few of my notes below.

• Resilience - nagivate your world but also negotiate resources around you.
• Resilience is not just about being positive yourself but also about the resources/support around you.
• Factors such as accountability, supportive relationships, community belonging, sense of control, positive thinking, physical and financial well being (social comparison causes unhappy financial wellbeing).
• Which resources we need is a matter of negotiation.
• Strategies for success :
  • Change yourself - which change are the right ones?
    • Chocolate.
    • Sleep.
    • Physical fitness.
    • Dinner with family.
    • A little alcohol.
    • Relationships/Sex.
  • Make the best use possible of the 12 resources you have.
  • Change your world to have more of the 12 resources.
  • When all else fails, change what you want.
