Resilience in Art and Life

Resilience is vital. Not only to individuals—but also for whole communities. So it’s a good thing there are people out there teaching others how to grow and hone their resilience. In this episode, we talk with an award-winning author and fascinating researcher about resiliency, what it means to them, how it can be nurtured and how it impacts our world.
