Ready for Anything by Joe De Sena reveals the 10 principles for building True Resilience, for yourself and your family. True resilience comes from a body and mind carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. It is the key to achieving optimism, contentedness, and long-term strength. For the first time, Joe reveals the personal stories and lessons he learned from his childhood in Queens, NY to his career as a champion Ironman, to his role as a warrior-style CEO and father of four, and how he's weathered every single storm with the gift of true resilience. He defines what so many of us struggle to understand: the difference between what is difficult and what is desperate. The truth is, we need difficult situations to grow, become strong, and ultimately, survive and thrive in the real world. Not giving ourselves the ongoing gift of challenge, failure, and hard work is to deprive ourselves of one of the most satisfying and rewarding parts of the human experience—the strength to stand back up again after we fall.
