I love it … it hooked me right in … A fantastic book. – Chris EvansThis is a truly refreshing, captivating and important book that shifted my perception on a topic I thought I knew! A must read. – Steven Bartlett, entrepreneur and host of ‘The Diary of a CEO’A fascinating and important pushback against the narrow, joy-eroding version of ‘resilience’ that would leave us to sink or swim alone, Fortitude is an indispensable guide to a more energising, human, and effective approach to working and thriving in a post-pandemic world. – Oliver Burkeman, author of ‘Four Thousand Weeks’Surprising and challenging. Fortitude encouraged me to re-think not only my work but how I live my life. – Sarah Ellis, co-author of ‘The Squiggly Career’A book that confirms what I’ve always believed, that we can’t be resilient on our own. In fact resilience is about all of us being stronger than any of us. – Gary LinekerA much needed book that unfolds the surprising secrets of resilience. Something I never knew I needed to read but I’m so glad I did, its opened up a whole angle of thinking. – Nadiya HussainA fascinating analysis of resilience - what it is, what is isn’t and why, when we develop it together, it becomes something better and more important, fortitude. It seems that resilience is a team game. – Alastair CampbellEntertaining. Engaging. Educating. Three words that sum up this cracking read, which offers a timely - and much needed - challenge to the traditional definition on resilience. – Professor Damian Hughes, co-host of the ‘High Performance’ podcastFortitude explores and validates what most of us who work with people feel in our gut when it comes to debunking doctrine about resilience and singular toughness. A fantastic contribution. – Dr Pippa Grange, author of ‘Fearless’, former Head of People & Team Development at The Football AssociationDeeply thoughtful, provocative and insightful Fortitude will push you to question assumptions, think again about your life narrative and probably care more about your friends and community. – Professor Lynda Gratton
