It's Not the End of the World
Conference description
Within seeming despair, hopelessness, loss of health, and melt down, lies the gift of resilience. Resilience offers a new possibility for our planet.
"The good news is that resilience isn't a genetic gift for the lucky few -- it's an easily understood skill that anyone can practice and master.
Resilient individuals face reality head-on, take action, find deeper meaning in life, laugh often, and are masters of improvisation. A new kind of natural selection is already having its way with us. As change and uncertainty escalate, those who are prone to stress will be less able to compete, but hopeful, stress-hardy people will rule the world."
