Praise for Hardiness
“If there was only one attribute I could give my children, it wouldn't be good looks, athletic ability, or intelligence, it would be hardiness—a powerful constellation of qualities that increases the likelihood that they will engage in the world (v. shy away), be active agents in constructing their lives (v. helpless victims), and ultimately find meaning (v. unreflective boredom) in everything they experience and do. Hardiness is the gift that keeps on giving. Steve and Paul have done a masterful job summarizing and integrating almost fifty years of research into one, easy-to-read, simple-to-apply manual on how to construct a life well-lived.”
