RISE ABOVE ADVERSITY: How to Overcome and Steer through Difficult Times

Your life will be a series of ups and downs, successes and failures, no matter what you do to guard against them. Peter Drucker, the management guru, said that the one thing that is inevitable in the life of the leader is the crisis. The only thing that matters is how you respond to the unavoidable crises that you will have on a regular basis. The great historian, Arnold Toynbee, after studying the twenty-six great civilizations of history, found that each of them started small and grew based on their ability to respond effectively to the unexpected challenges they faced over time. He called this the "crisis-response theory of history." It was their ability to accept responsibility, without blaming or complaining, that determined their long-term success or failure. This book is a compilation of insights about resilience by Brian Tracy and a group of leading entrepreneurs and professionals from around the world. You'll get uplifted, energized and educated after you read the stories and lessons shared by the authors in this book.
