Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life

摘要

Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life by Eric Greitens provides an account for all of us on how to live a more flourishing life. Greitens, a former Rhodes Scholar and Navy SEAL, has been working as a veterans' advocate for several years. His background provides credibility and a unique perspective for a book about resilience. The book is a synopsis of letters that Greitens composed to his friend and former SEAL teammate, Drew Sheets. Sheets left the Navy and started a concrete business when he came home from Afghanistan. Trying to cope with PTSD, Sheets eventually became an alcoholic and at one of his lowest points turned to Greitens for help. The book traces the letters that both men shared together on their journey to help Sheets find resilience in his daily life.
