I love it . . . it hooked me right in . . . A fantastic book. -- Chris Evans This is a truly refreshing, captivating and important book that shifted my perception on a topic I thought I knew! A must read. -- Steven Bartlett, entrepreneur and host of 'The Diary of a CEO' A fascinating and important pushback against the narrow, joy-eroding version of 'resilience' that would leave us to sink or swim alone, Fortitude is an indispensable guide to a more energising, human, and effective approach to working and thriving in a post-pandemic world. -- Oliver Burkeman, author of 'Four Thousand Weeks' Surprising and challenging. Fortitude encouraged me to re-think not only my work but how I live my life. -- Sarah Ellis, co-author of 'The Squiggly Career' A book that confirms what I've always believed, that we can't be resilient on our own. In fact resilience is about all of us being stronger than any of us. -- Gary Lineker A much needed book that unfolds the surprising secrets of resilience. Something I never knew I needed to read but I'm so glad I did, its opened up a whole angle of thinking. -- Nadiya Hussain A fascinating analysis of resilience - what it is, what is isn't and why, when we develop it together, it becomes something better and more important, fortitude. It seems that resilience is a team game. -- Alastair Campbell Entertaining. Engaging. Educating. Three words that sum up this cracking read, which offers a timely - and much needed - challenge to the traditional definition on resilience. -- Professor Damian Hughes, co-host of the 'High Performance' podcast Fortitude explores and validates what most of us who work with people feel in our gut when it comes to debunking doctrine about resilience and singular toughness. A fantastic contribution. -- Dr Pippa Grange, author of 'Fearless', former Head of People & Team Development at The Football Association Deeply thoughtful, provocative and insightful Fortitude will push you to question assumptions, think again about your life narrative and probably care more about your friends and community. -- Professor Lynda Gratton Is "resilience" more than blaming victims and telling them they need to act stronger? This wonderful book is Bruce Daisley's personal quest - through his personal experiences and his appetite for digesting rigorous research - to learn about the overused concept of resilience. What Bruce learns is intriguing and important, and hopefully will help us become better parents, leaders, and friends. -- Professor Daniel Cable, author of 'Alive at Work' A riveting read - Fortitude lifts the lid on the orthodoxy of Resilience and shows us where true strength lies. Fortitude is a tour de force. -- Julia Hobsbawm, author of 'The Nowhere Office' One of the UK's leading "workfluencers" [ offers] up ahead-of-the-curve takes on the future of workplace cultures . . . Fortitude is an easy to read and well-research book that will appeal to anyone . . . Daisley challenges some of the empowerment narratives that have become unquestioned staples of organisational life . . . [ and] offers "fortitude" as an alternative. * Financial Times * An absolute revelation . . . It's with collective support that you can develop resilience. Your own resilience or individual fortitude is not something you do or don't have, it comes from the extent to which you are supported by others. The extent to which people face these issues of resilience is massively divined by the structural inequalities we face. -- Ed Miliband Fantastic -- Geoff Lloyd
