A slightly unusual Best Bits episode, which is fitting for these unusual times. In the face of uncertainty and anxiety, we're talking about resilience: what it is, what it looks like in our day-to-day life, and how to build it.
Very grateful to my guests for their courage, honesty and insights:
- Jenny Campbell on the dynamic nature of resilience
- Celia Gaze on bringing herself back from the brink of bankruptcy by sheer creativity
- Ash Ali on finding 'unfair advantages' in the most unpromising situations
- Lucy Werner on finding focus and purpose in the most difficult circumstances
- Rob Baker on what resilience looks like day to day
- Hassan Osman on overcoming excuses
- Safi Bahcall on the best way to deal with failure and frustration
- Alison Jones (yes, me) on harnessing fear and making it work for you
