Resiliency: What We Have Learned

I'm a doctoral student studying resilience education. I have read hundreds of books and articles related to resilience. I wish I had known to read this book first because it carefully presents the evolution over time of the three stages of resilience work. Knowing these stages has helped me sort out what seemed to be contradictions in this field. The new attitude of positive psychology is truly a new mindset and makes resilience education a mainstream topic that is appropriate at any school. Overall, this book has carefully organized material and is well written.For a more practical how-to book, also get "Resiliency in action: Practical Ideas for Overcoming Risks and Building Strengths in Youth, Families and Communities, 2nd ed." (Henderson, 2007) which Benard co-authored.

A member of my dissertation committee recommended this book to me. It was clear, easy to read, and an excellent resource for my studies!

Needed it for school

Resiliency connects the research to ideas that feel like gut instinct to many educators. The book offers useful ideas for developing resiliency in young people--and in ourselves--to achieve success.

It has some good information, but few actual suggestions on what to do. The majority of the book was just theory, I wanted more tangible suggestions that I could follow through with.

This book provides strong support for my dissertation topic--student resiliency. I have been able to move ahead in my writing now that I have this book.

This book was available in university book shop and had cost $18 and at Amazon I got just in $5 including shipping and handling. What a great deal. Thanks Amazon
