Laurie Carey: Resilience is a Muscle, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What if resilience wasn't something you're born with, but something you could train?

In Resilience is a Muscle, Laurie Carey; CEO, educator, and mother of four, reveals how the science of the brain holds the key to enduring life's hardest moments and emerging stronger. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, this book breaks down how we process stress, fear, loss, and change - and how we can retrain the mind to recover faster, stay clear under pressure, and lead with strength.

This is not a book about "bouncing back." It's a framework for mental conditioning. You'll learn how to build emotional stability, how to navigate triggers without shutting down, and how to create psychological safety for yourself and for the people who depend on you.

Carey is the founder of Nebula Professional Development Academy, which delivers technical and workforce development training, and We Connect The Dots, Inc., a nonprofit focused on creating career awareness and opportunity for young adults, adults, and underserved communities. The mission behind this book is bigger than personal growth: it is about preparing humans, all of us, for a world of continuous change driven by technology and accelerated by AI.

As automation and AI reshape work, identity, belonging, and economic stability, resilience is no longer "nice to have." It's job readiness. It's leadership readiness. It's community survival.

This book also has a purpose beyond its pages. Proceeds and visibility from Resilience is a Muscle support the ongoing work of We Connect The Dots, Inc. After years of doing critical community work while depending on unpredictable government funding, the organization is focused on building a more stable, sustainable model - one that can fund operations, train future talent, and keep delivering career pathways, workforce development, and resilience training where they're needed most.

Whether you're a leader navigating uncertainty, a parent trying to raise resilient humans, a young adult trying to find your footing in an unstable world, or someone who's been knocked down and is tired of pretending you're fine - this book gives you language, tools, and a way forward.

Resilience is not genetic. It's built. And we need it now.
