The Resilience Institute surveyed over 20,000 people to understand what drives resilience in individuals and groups across the world. 11 key factors were identified. These range from the obvious - focus, purpose, optimism, assertiveness and bounce - to the less expected - sleep quality, vitality, presence, decisiveness, values alignment and fulfilment. A resilient person breaks down life's challenges into achievable tasks, prepares biology and environment, then works with focus and determination.
