Editorial Review:
Resiliency - the ability to adapt to life's changes and crises - is the key to a healthy, productive life. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to get bogged down by feelings of anger and helplessness. The Resiliency Advantage helps readers banish negative, self-defeating thoughts and break free from the roles of "victim" and "good child" while improving problem-solving skills, maintaining humor and optimism during rough times, and becoming both self-reliant and socially responsible. By mastering the five stages of development - sustaining health, energy, and positive feelings; handling challenges; achieving positive self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-concept; honing the skills and attributes of highly resilient people; and developing a talent for serendipity - readers learn to stand up to adversity, overcome obstacles, and meet life head on.

G. Lee Salmon, Executive Coach, Federal Consulting Group, Department of Treasury 2008-09-26 As an executive coach I constantly work with executives who are under enormous stress and who often face radical change in their organizations. Being resilient is a key competency for their survival and success. I found Dr. Siebert's book to be an incredible resource and teach tool for my clients. It gives them a useful five element model to understand the key dimensions of resilience and offers practical strategies and practices to build their own resilience. I recommend this book to anyone under stress and wanting to be able to effectively manage changes that life brings. It has made me look at my own life and provides a checklist to assess my own resilience.
Al Siebert's _The_Resiliency_Advantage_ 2007-10-29 I intend to use this as reference material for my Master of Public Health project. The book is practice, incisive, and accessible.
Awesome book 2007-09-06 This book has been reviewed in detail enough. I can only add my own personal experience. Seibert wrote a simple concise book that pulls no punches and provides an effective plan to help change one's mindset from that of a depressed anxious victim to that of a person who dosen't let things control how they feel without putting up a heck of a fight first.
The Resiliency Advantage 2007-01-12 After a challenging year in which I have dealt with injury, financial devastation, and diabolical bureaucracy, it was great to be reminded, once again, that the reason I have thrived is largely because I exhibit 100% of the personality traits of a 'survivor'! The exercises included in this book are brilliant and I have recommended the book to many people, including my rehabilitation physician - who has thoroughly enjoyed my approach to everything but is still trying to figure me out! Should be required reading for all high school students and for anyone who is serious about tapping into real human potential. Thanks Al !
Useful 2007-01-11 This book is very useful for everyone. After all, each of us meets with many challenges everyday.
