Adam, I really appreciate your candor regarding The Resilience Factor. I had a much more difficult time with this book, but unlike you, did not take it as an opportunity to challenge my beliefs and grow more. I was intrigued by the section on thinking styles, and I agree with the author's assessment of people like me, which is "not me, always, not everything." I know that I tend to think whatever I'm experiencing is how things will be "forever" and of course this is a thinking style that leads only to trouble!
Anyway, thank you for being so open to this reading material. It inspires me to give it all a second thought and get past my irritation at the hard sell.
