Resilience is not a personality you were issued at birth, and it is not the ability to absorb unlimited pressure without complaint. It is a set of capacities across body, mind, emotion, meaning, relationships, and community that determine how well you recover from setbacks and how quickly you return to something like balance. Each of those capacities can be assessed, strengthened, and rebuilt, which is the whole premise of this course.
